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

[Sebastian Unger]

Honestly? I'm running (or trying to) Ubuntu server off of Raspberry Pis.
I don't need or want LXD. At least provide another task (minimal-server)
or something that we can use that pulls only in what is truly needed.
Right now the only choice I have is to try and figure out for each
package that lists itself as belonging on server whether it is needed
and then to manually install it and to review this selection every
couple of months in case another important one comes along.

Title:
  LXC/LXD installed by default on Ubuntu server

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
