Title:
  Allow one to customize which third-party packages are installed

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Currently in the "Preparing to Install Ubuntu" section there is a
  check-box you can check which reads "Install third-party software for
  graphics and Wi-Fi hardware, Flash, MP3 and other media".

  I think that you should be able to expand that, or that there should
  be some sort of button allowing you to access more advanced options
  which display to you exactly what third-party pieces of software will
  be installed, and allow you to also change which ones. For instance if
  there is a list of all the software that will be installed in addition
  when you check the third-party software option, all the packages there
  will be ticked, but you will be able to untick any that you like,
  though if one depends on another, unticking a dependency of another
  package which grey out that package and a hover over tooltip or
  something similar will reveal to you that it requires a package you
  have unticked as a dependency, it will also specify the package(s).

  This would be useful to me to know what extra stuff is being
  installed, and also because for instance it installs Flash and for
  security reasons I don't want Flash, but I do want all the other
  stuff, so it would be nice if I could customize the list of the
  additional third-party software to be installed a little bit more.
