Bug Description

live-helper has added support for hybrid ISOs which is a new feature in isolinux introduced in version 3.72 that permits booting from either "CD-ROM or from a device which BIOS considers a hard disk or ZIP disk, e.g. a USB key or similar"[1]. It would be great if ubuntu-cdimage could add support for this as well as the change is reasonably non-invasive although requires a newer version of syslinux not currently in the Ubuntu archive.
