Clearly you are not reading what I wrote in the first place. I
understand that you might be busy and you might have things more
important than this bug, but in such a case please leave it alone, and
please don't try to guess what people mean without carefully reading
what they wrote.

At present users are supposed to do this by themselves, which is fine on
a fully-fledged disk installation (just leave the default "all is
selected" and confirm), but it is impossible to manage on a USB-key
casper installations.
If the process cannot be automatic for the reasons you mentioned, then
there must be at least an option to sort packages per various criteria
(e.g. recommended, security, size) and let the user bulk-select and
bulk-deselect them (e.g. with CTRL and SHIFT clicking). Individual
package selection as it is now it's unacceptable for the scenario I'm
describing, i.e. a USB-key casper installations.
Now, I'm fine if you say that you don't care about this problem and you
don't WANT to fix it, and you close the bug with this statement.
However you cannot state that this bug is non-existent and that the
system already takes care of this problem, because it does not. More
than that! It does make it very hard for the users to take care of the
problem themselves.
