Bug Description

[Impact]
* The newly added wsl seed includes the packages to be installed by default on Ubuntu running in the Windows Subsystem for Linux. In addition to the packages in ubuntu-minimal the added ubuntu-wsl metapackage depends on on utilities useful only in the WSL environment.

[Test Case]
* The package is a new metapackage, just try installing it

[Fix]
* The change add the new package and also adds the wsl seed to watch.

[Regression potential]
* Nothing, it is a new meta package, with no breaks, etc.

[Other Info]
* Please consider accepting this new binary package to Disco, because it needs to be SRU-d to all supported releases. The ubuntu-wsl metapackage will allow adding new packages for WSL installations only when more integration utilities become available.

The attached patch also include updates from the current seed, and was artificially crafted because until ubuntu-meta package does not exist in the archive germinate does not pick it from the seed, hence does not include the packages contained through the minimal seed.

Adam Conrad (adconrad) wrote :

This hand-crafted patch is wrong. The way the seeds are laid out, ubuntu-wsl should depend on exactly one package, not dozens. STRUCTURE is not an include hierarchy (if it was, all of minimal would be in desktop, for instance), it describes inheritance. "wsl: minimal" means "if it's in minimal, don't include it in wsl, so I don't have the same packages listed twice". wsl installs should install minimal (as *all* Ubuntu installations do) and ubuntu-wsl.

@adconrad Thank, I update the seed changes and the package accordingly.
Can the refresh and the ubuntu-wsl metapackage depending only on wslu get the ffe?
