Title:
  Mantic cloud minimized images should not include recommended packages

Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The goal of the cloud minimized image changes in mantic to have the
  smallest functional Ubuntu cloud images possible while still meeting
  the criteria of an Ubuntu system and all the expectations that brings.

  One of the goals was to not include recommended packages in these
  images and only to include the packages that are marked as
  dependencies.

  Unfortunately this goal can't be 100% satisfied without introducing
  some more dependencies to the cloud-minimal seed @ https://ubuntu-
  archive-team.ubuntu.com/seeds/ubuntu.mantic/cloud-minimal which were
  previously recommends but are actually required.

  This bug is to track the work to remove recommends and add any
  required dependencies if those additions are required to be made in
  livecd-rootfs and not in the seed definitions.
