  Bug #1087630 in Ubuntu Test Cases: "server minimal virtual installations are reported to be bloated by utah"

For more details, see:

The branch make some changes to the minimal-virtual scenario to make the
install_size test case work.

In particular:
- late command in the preseed is used to gather disk usage before testing
  packages (needed by utah) are installed.
- test case script reads the log file with that information instead of running
  `df`.

The test case is working now for me when running the test case locally in a VM
with the new preseed.

However, I believe that still the usage in the log file includes the packages
in `pkgsel/include` (`preseed/late_command` seems to be executed after
`pkgsel/include`), but not the ones that are installed later using `gdebi`, so
the figure isn't completely precise yet.
