[Bug 2003387] [NEW] ubuntu-desktop-minimal should depend on cryptsetup, lvm2

Public bug reported:

The meta-packages ubuntu-desktop-minimal / ubuntu-minimal depend on
everything needed for a functioning desktop / server installation
respectively. Well, almost everything.

Two packages that they don't depend on, but should, or at least it should recommend them are:
- cryptsetup
- lvm2

The reason is that if Ubuntu was installed with disk encryption and/or
LVM turned on, these packages are essential. The system won't even boot
without cryptsetup, for example (found this out the hard way).

The release of Ubuntu you are using: 22.10
The version of the package you are using: ubuntu-desktop-minimal 1.497

** Affects: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Package changed: net-snmp (Ubuntu) => ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)
