[Bug 958825] [NEW] Ubuntu installation footprint should be below 4GB (optionally)

[komputes]

Public bug reported:

The footprint for Ubuntu installation has increased greatly. Ubiquity
should utilize the screen where it says

[HAS AT LEAST 4.5 GB available drive space]

to make that size changeable by removing optional packages making it
possible to install Ubuntu on smaller drives.

Some ideas of "optional" packages. Some are quite large and I find that not everyone uses these:
Libre Office
Thunderbird
Ubuntu-one
Gwibber
Empathy
Rhytmbox/Banshee
Gnome Games
Totem
Shotwell
