[Bug 1563026] Re: LXC/LXD installed by default on Ubuntu server

[Miha Vrhovnik]

As xenial is close in being released this is probably going to stay in
Which is unfortunate, because we really don't need the containers when
already virtualized, eg. Amazon, DigitalOcean or even in homelabs
proxmox.

What's even more annoying is that this is not the only package that now
gets installed by default.

Title:
  LXC/LXD installed by default on Ubuntu server

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  When performing a new installation of Ubuntu server 16.04 Beta 2, LXC
  and LXD are included in the default packages even when "Virtual
  Server" is not selected as an installation task. This brings in all of
  the required dependencies as well, obviously, which seems like it is
  not the best default behavior to have.

  When installing from a non-UEFI boot, the user may select "minimal
  install" from the "F4" menu. This menu is not available from the UEFI
  grub environment, making it apparently impossible to select an
  installation that does not include the LXC and LXD suite by default.
