[Bug 1563026] Re: LXC/LXD installed by default on Ubuntu server

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

This is a more complex issue; it's not just about LXD, but the general
story for installing "minimal" installs.

The fact that openssh-server was not installed as part of the ubuntu-
server is a separate bug we've covered in a different bug report.

Currently, desktops allow picking a "full" install or "minimal"
installation. You also somewhat have that option for the d-i mini.iso;
but IIRC not really on the new Subiquity installer.

I think this needs to be a larger question than just for LXD; and will
need addressing elsewhere than in ubuntu-meta in any case. Reassigning
to debian-cd (where we have the grub menus and more magic for selecting
"minimal" install).

** Package changed: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) => debian-cd (Ubuntu)

Title:
  LXC/LXD installed by default on Ubuntu server

Status in debian-cd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When performing a new installation of Ubuntu server 16.04 Beta 2, LXC
  and LXD are included in the default packages even when "Virtual
  Server" is not selected as an installation task. This brings in all of
  the required dependencies as well, obviously, which seems like it is
  not the best default behavior to have.

  When installing from a non-UEFI boot, the user may select "minimal
  install" from the "F4" menu. This menu is not available from the UEFI
  grub environment, making it apparently impossible to select an
  installation that does not include the LXC and LXD suite by default.
