Please bear in mind that the "supported" set gives a list of packages
supported by the Kubuntu team but NOT part of the kubuntu image; because
those are in a different seed.  As I alluded in the TB meeting, what we
really want here is "all packages seeded in any of the kubuntu seeds, plus
their dependencies as determined by germinate, minus anything that is
already supported by Canonical for Ubuntu".

I will try to get something stood up this week that can report on what
exactly that looks like, so that you can confirm what you intend to support
(and also hopefully make it updateable so you can iterate if you identify
stuff you no longer want to support).
