[Bug 2154038] [NEW] Thumbnailer packages not included in the ubuntu-desktop-minimal install

[Yuri]

Public bug reported:

As they are providing a core, fundamental functionality for the user, and considering the default installation (pre-selected) is the minimal one, the exclusion of the packages
 
* (gst-audio-thumbnailer)
* (gst-video-thumbnailer)

from `ubuntu-desktop-minimal` that are included in `ubuntu-desktop` is
confusing and severely restricts users who choose the default Desktop
installation, as they will be missing a basic functionality that is
normally included in standard Gnome installations in other
distributions.
