[Bug 1694206] Re: openssl-ibmca and libica2 should be in default installation

[Frank Heimes]

We do not really like the idea to install such kinds of additional packages by default, because not everybody is going to really make use of them and they would introduce a certain level of additional risk.
A bug in one of the packages would require a resin of the iso and other architectures don't require such add. packages for hardware assisted crypto.

Instead we may think about making that an additional task that is
visible in d-i?!
