[Bug 2064166] [NEW] Exclude alacritty from Ubuntu Cinnamon ISOs

[Jeremy Bícha]

Public bug reported:

alacritty is unintentionally included in Ubuntu Cinnamon 24.04 LTS even
though the Ubuntu Cinnamon metapackages do not recommend or depend on
it.

I'm filing the bug here even though ubuntucinnamon-meta won't need to be
updated, just the seed, because there is nowhere else to report bugs
about seeds.

A few things that could be tried:
- move the gnome-terminal dependency to a higher location in the seed
- try adding !alacritty to the seed. ! usually does not make any difference but maybe it would here?

You probably want to get this working in oracular before trying to
backport whatever is successful to the noble seed.

Unfortunately, because there is nothing depending on alacritty, I do not
believe it is possible for alacritty to be automatically safely removed
from people's computers who install Ubuntu Cinnamon using Ubuntu 23.10
or the original 24.04 LTS, but it can be excluded from the 24.04.1 LTS
ISO that will be published a few months from now.

Additional info about how it got seeded and if it is working
