Create a repository for live-boot Ubuntu package

Ubuntu based bootstrap [1] makes use of live-boot package to build
a "live" system which boots over the network. However live-boot 3.0.1
which is shipped with Ubuntu 14.04 has a couple of limitations which
sometimes (approximately once in 6 runs) prevent the node from booting
successfully. In particular,
- live-boot does not wait properly for network device initialization,
- live-boot does not handle BOOTIF parameter passed by pxelinux to
  figure out which interface should be used for completing the boot.
These problems has been addressed in the up-to-date version of live-boot
(commits: [2], [3]).
