The pacakgeset description is:

Presumably the wording is intended to be specific to cloud images (eg.
openssh is required to "use" a cloud image but presumably wasn't
intended to be included in that description).

Following that, all your proposed additions make sense. I'm not sure
about some of the packages you proposed to drop but it looks like there
are currently no uploaders so I guess that's OK.

Would it be an idea to adjust the description to be more specific
though, to stop us flapping if we're asked to re-add some of these
packages that appear to match the description currently?
