Bug description:
  [Impact]
  * The newly added wsl seed includes the packages to be installed by default on Ubuntu running in the Windows Subsystem for Linux. In addition to the packages in ubuntu-minimal the added ubuntu-wsl metapackage depends on on utilities useful only in the WSL environment.

  [Test Case]
  * The package is a new metapackage, just try installing it

  [Fix]
  * The change add the new package and also adds the wsl seed to watch.

  [Regression potential]
  * Nothing, it is a new meta package, with no breaks, etc.

  [Other Info]
  * Please consider accepting this new binary package to Disco, because it needs to be SRU-d to all supported releases. The ubuntu-wsl metapackage will allow adding new packages for WSL installations only when more integration utilities become available.
