Public bug reported:
We get requests quite often for users to just be able to install the
core GNOME desktop, without all the added extras that the main ubuntu
GNOME seed adds (libroffice, apps etc).
A couple of the other flavours have gone down this path also, and I
think Xubuntu even spin a core version of their ISO. I don't think at
this stage we will go down that path, however it should be possible to
use netinstall/tasksel to install a 'core' system.
That would leave us with two seeds
-core: containing everything required to get a working gnome-shell system
-desktop: containing all the extras like firefox, email, libreoffice, and all
other non-essential apps.
I've also considered adding a third seed, that would pull in everything
required for packaging and development on GNOME. Again this would just be a
task/meta package and unlikely to do actual ISO spins from it.
-devel: containing ubuntu-dev-tools, sbuild, git-buildpackage and other
developer dependencies
