Oh boy, this is chocked-full of errors. It seems as though you may have
only used the ubuntustudio-desktop seed? We have multiple seeds used to
create the metas and install tasks, as you can see here:

https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/ubuntustudio/tree/

What you propose removing includes packages specifically labeled
ubuntustudio-*, numerous audio/video/publishing/photography/graphics
items, and packages I or my team have been directly involved in.

The following is a list of items that *MUST* be kept in the packageset,
and includes items recently added. I hope that none of these are dropped
as it would simply make no sense:

zita-at1
zita-convolver
zita-lrx
zita-mu1
zita-resampler

So, based on that, I think the tooling needs to be worked-on further and
perhaps needs to take the other seeds in the repo I linked above into
account.

Thanks,
Erich
