Bug description:
  Ubuntu-image relies on germinate to expand a package list from a seed

  Seeds declare an inheritance relationship in the STRUCTURE file. So
  for example standard inherit from minimal.

  Currently ubuntu-image does not consider this relationship, so users
  have to give the full list of seeds. So for example, when they want
  "standard" they need to list "minimal" and "standard". This is not
  ideal and will surely be problematic in the future when the
  inheritance relationship is modified in the seed.

  ubuntu-image should respect this inheritance and resolve it itself to
  get the full list of seeds, and thus packages to install.
