[Bug 2100984] Re: ubuntu cinnamon minimal is not minimal. installs all games, apps ect.

[Erich Eickmeyer]

So this implies one of these things, or perhaps a combination:

- livecd-rootfs isn’t building the squashfs for the minimal install correctly
- subiquity, the installer, is not honoring the selection in ubuntu-desktop-bootstrap (the frontend you interact with)
- ubuntu-desktop-bootstrap isn’t passing the correct information on to subiquity to trigger it to only install the minimum.
- There’s an error in the seed
- There’s a bug in germinate: the tool that creates a list of every package that needs to be included in the .iso image, causing the minimal install to be identical to the full install.

Hence, added those packages to the report.
