.disk/mini-info is the same for GA and SRU d-i builds

This is missing a fix in Yakkety and a test case, etc....

The fix is committed to yakkety branch of d-i and will be included in the next yakkety upload. However, there is no change of behaviour in yakkety at all. As point versions are only used in LTS releases / SRUs. I guess I can make the next upload to have a weird version number to test this in yakkety.

Yakkety fix is in -proposed: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/20101020ubuntu479.1

Test case now exists, accepting for xenial as well. Thanks!

This bug was fixed in the package debian-installer - 20101020ubuntu479.1

---------------
debian-installer (20101020ubuntu479.1) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * Move master kernles to 4.8.0-19.
  * Use full version as BUILD_DATE string in the build process, such that
    mini.iso mini-info & d-i fake status file correctly declare full
    buildstamp. Currently it's impossible to tell apart SRU builds from
    each other and from the GA build. LP: #1628149
  * Use SRU version number for this release, to test complete version
    numbers in status/mini-info.
