[Bug 1575198] Re: [RFE] ubuntu-installer/tasksel: OpenSSH server is not selected by default

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

it's actually a cosmetic thing I believe, whilst the openssh-server task
is not selected, openssh-server is auto-installed if one continues the
installation over network console there is code in place to "apt-install
openssh-server". So i think this is mostly a cosmetic issue that tasksel
doesn't look through what is scheduled to be installed already and
correctly reconcile the available list of things with things to be
already installed. As a minimal fix, I may figure out how to preseed
openssh-server task to be preselected either just on s390x, or whenever
network-console chooses to install openssh-server.

In KVM, the console that is available there is not "rudimentary" and can
do ANSI color escape codes, emacs, etc =) thus is quite feature full,
and I often finish KVM installs without using ssh connection.

Title:
  [RFE] ubuntu-installer/tasksel: OpenSSH server is not selected by
  default

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  == Comment: #0 - Thorsten Diehl <thorsten.diehl at de.ibm.com> - 2016-04-25 06:16:13 ==
  Request for enhancement:
  During Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server installation it is required to select manually the installation of OpenSSH server. For z Systems this should be enabled per default, since Linux on z Systems (in contradiction to other platforms) has only "rudimentary consoles" and always rely on a console reachable via ssh.
