[Bug 2069615] Re: [3.x] Seeds inheritance not applied

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Michael is right here - forgot about the installer case. Even though for
the preinstalled case it makes sense, when we start thinking in layers
such an auto-resolving might be unwanted. We could try and think about
doing auto-dep-resolve just for preinstalled cases, or maybe hiding it
under another flag, but for now I'd say the seeds usage should be in the
manual way.

Title:
  [3.x] Seeds inheritance not applied

Status in Ubuntu Image:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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.
