Actually looking at this a bit farther, it looks like there is a remove feature to the seeds that should have allowed for a minimal install for us. It's just not working.

For us, we've always had a "minimal" install, i.e. the lubuntu-core task, so we'll need to rename that. Minimal as the Desktop Team envisioned it is essentially the normal desktop and system tools, plus a browser. lubuntu-core doesn't even include things that we consider to be a normal part of LXDE (e.g. lxtask). So those need to be separate.

Additionally, we need some corrections to the seed to keep consistent with the vision of the Desktop Team. There's some additional apps we should remove, as well as language packs and reverse dependencies. I'm kind of against removing system tools. We'll have to think about that. Package management is a thing since we have both synaptic and gnome-software. That's probably an oversight we should fix.

Finally, we need to be sure that we are testing these things so that it doesn't happen again.
