Title:
  Set oem-config/remove-extras to false will cause packages in
  /var/lib/ubiquity/apt-removed is not being removed

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  There is a preseed called "oem-config/remove-extras" in ubiquity,
  if this preseed set true , it will try to remove packages that were
  not part of the base install and are not needed by the final system.

  if set "oem-config/remove-extras" pressed to false,
  this will cause every ubiquity plugin which use install_misc.record_removed() method
  didn't remove the package in the OOBE phase.
  which is, packages already recorded in /var/lib/ubiquity/apt-removed ,
  but it's not being removed in the oem-config.

  There should be a formal way to remove packages in OOBE
  even if "oem-config/remove-extras" preseed is set to false.
