Enable Ubuntu LEB ARMHF-based preview images
Ubuntu already contains ARMHF packages enough to build the LEB images. Together with the Ubuntu archive, we also need to enable the linaro specific packages for ARMHF at the Overlay PPA, so we could have a similar work environment as we already have for ARMEL.
This blueprint is to track the work needed in order to have the Ubuntu LEB image available for ARMHF (based on Precise), as a preview (Overlay, Offspring, image scripts, snapshots, etc).

Whiteboard
[rsalveti, Jan 3, 2011] Please work with Fathi to sync about the current state of the armhf builders, but I believe we should have it enabled for the Overlay PPA at least. For offspring I know we have a IS ticket to cover the issue (RT#213).
[aviksil, Jan 25, 2011] David, can you move it to 12.02 as it got blocked due to unavailability of armhf builder at offspring (RT#213)?
[dzin, Jan 26, 2012] Moved to 12.02 due to blockage.
[rsalveti, Feb 23, 2012] Still blocked, moving to 12.03.
