Bug description:
  [SRU]
  =====

  [Impact]
  `unminimize` was at one point available/already installed in noble (24.04) OCI images, but since the move to "split it out" from `livecd-rootfs` it is no longer installed and is causing issues for some users. This is technically a regression, therefore we will reintroduce it to noble (only).

  [Test Case]

  Using the proposed branch, artefacts will be built and inspected to validate that `unminimize` is indeed now present in the images. Other users have also kindly provided their workflows here which we can also use as verification. The following will be run:
  ```
  RUN set -eux \
      && /usr/local/sbin/unminimize
  ```

  Additionally, the man pages should be now be present in the container
  (as a result of unminimize being run).

  If the above runs successfully, we can consider verification done.

  [Vendored Dependencies]

  N/A

  [Where Problems Could Occur]

  The biggest possible issue has already been mitigated (by symlinking
  the newly installed `/usr/bin/unminimize` to
  `/usr/local/sbin/unminimize`; therefore making this change transparent
  to current users). Other issues could possibly stem from the
  `unminimize` package itself. However, `unminimize` is is `main` and as
  such is subject to the thorough testing/ownership/etc. so we can
  assume the package is good.

  [Other Information]

  The SRU bug is _only_ for noble - the `unminimize` package has been
  entirely split out from `livecd-rootfs` in all releases noble+.
  However this has caused a regression to some users as this bug shows.
  Therefore `unminimize` is being reintroduced to noble but will remain
  separate (i.e. not pre-installed) in releases going forward.

  === Original bug ===

  The unminimize script seems to be missing from the latest 24.04 image,
  it was there previously:
