Yes.

To be clear, we have no intention of making ISOs corresponding with
this new metapackage. Since we're still building Ubuntu GNOME images
for the remaining 16.04 point releases, I guess I need to make a new
seed to change the metapackage name.

Where does the desktop-extra packageset come from? It looks like it is
not automatically generated.

I guess y'all do want the ubuntu-gnome packageset to continue to be
autogenerated. So we do need to add the new metapackage to
livecd-rootfs, right?

Thanks,
