ubuntu-alternate plugin only supports one such image

[sangmank]

Unlike the ubuntu plugin, the ubuntu-alternate plugin supports only one version of the source image to be included in the resulting image. I can guess why, probably because this creates several menus for recovery/install/expert install. If that is the case, maybe an alternative design to the current one could be 1) having the same design for the case when there is only one source image of this type, and 2) if there are multiples, only showing the install menu for each image and hiding the rescue and expert install menu (maybe through MENU HIDE? I am not sure.)

If this sounds reasonable, I can work on this and make some pull request.

Feel free to work on it! I think the reason I couldn't make it happen was that the folders overlapped (namely pool, dist, and maybe preseed.)
