[Bug 2069615] [NEW] [3.x] Seeds inheritance not applied

[Paul Mars]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu-image relies on germinate to expand a package list from a seed
URL and a seed list.

Seeds declare a 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.
