Your argument can then be extended to indicate that we do not need *any*
seeds at all.  We'll just hard code package lists that we install in
some arbitrary scripts on some server/git-repo.  "Done and done."

That doesn't make sense.  The point of 'Ubuntu Server' seed is that
having it implies "default ubuntu server".  The user can expect certain
behaviors of a system that is "Ubuntu Server".

That is not consistent, user-friendly or "just works".

  Install openssh-server with disabled password auth by default on
  servers

Bug description:
  we want to remove 'cloud-image' seed and join it with 'server' seed.
  openssh-server is one of the few (3) packages that are in cloud image and not in 'ubuntu-server'.

  We'd like to have the server iso install openssh-server by default and
  prompt the user if they want to enable it or not.
