Title:
  Ubuntu installation footprint should be below 4GB (optionally)

Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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
