This issue was discussed during today's server team meeting [1]. The
result is that the Server team would like to keep w3m installed by
default when using the ubuntu-server isos for installation.

Once the -server seeds are ready, we can move w3m to one of the new server
seeds when/if w3m is removed from the standard seed.
