Title:
  rsync shouldn't be a dependency of ubuntu-standard

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I need a laptop with the minimal set of softwares installed but  I
  don't want a netbook.

  I saw that the rsync server was installed by default and it has be below drawbacks:
  - it is slowing down the boot process or the use during the first minutes (in case of delayed/parallel launch)
  - it increases the used memory
  - it increases the suspend to disk time and resume since more memory needs to be saved/restored

  I think rsync should be marked as a recommended dependency but not a
  required dependency.

  If you activate too much services by default, you will get an OS like
  Microsoft Vista.
