Title:
  server minimal virtual installations are reported to be bloated by
  utah

Status in Ubuntu Test Cases:
  In Progress
Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Utah appear to be adding significant content for minimal virtual
  server installations for raring smoke tests. Whilst a fresh local
  minimal virtual installation of amd64 server takes up roughly 611MB
  the reported installation size using utah is 964MB which is nearly 50%
  offset to the correct value.

  Please see comment #10 for further information as to what could add to
  the contents in preseeded installations required for utah.

  Originally it was with i386 but from 20121209 the amd64 installations
  are also reporting larger than the expected maximum for the daily
  smoke tests.

  i386 installations are reporting 885560 against the expected maximum
  of 870400

  amd64 installations are showing 964812 against the expected maximum of
  912656

  i386 server (20121207) minimal virtual installations for raring with
  utah installation are reporting an installation size of 885560 against
  the expected maximum of 870400. The size was below the expected max
  until 20121206 for i386 server images and the bloating only happened
  with 20121207 i386 server images. For amd64 images the size was below
  the expected until 20121208 and the bloating only happened with
  20121209 images

  The corresponding test code is located,
  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server-dev/utah/server-tests-quantal/view/head:/testsuites/minimal-virtual/test_install_size/test.py
  The failure is

  ======================================================================
      FAIL: testInstallSize (__main__.MinimalVirtualTest)
      ----------------------------------------------------------------------
      Traceback (most recent call last):
