Bug Description

[Impact]

Pollinate will not be present in the xenial minimal images when first booted and the random number seeding that it performs will be absent.

[Test Case]

Boot an unmodified xenial minimal image from date serial 20180628 or older (for example [1]). Run `apt-cache policy pollinate` and note that it is not installed.

[1] http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/minimal/daily/xenial/20180628/

[Regression Potential]

The regression risk should be very minimal. The only change being made here is to not remove the vim-common package, which keeps pollinate in place. Pollinate is already present in the base cloud images and all bionic images (including minimal).

[Other Info]

This change was tested by doing a full build of all ubuntu-cpc images in launchpad.

Found an issue while examining build logs that causes a failure to build minimal cloud images. Not sure how I missed it earlier.

This bug was fixed in the package livecd-rootfs - 2.408.36

---------------
livecd-rootfs (2.408.36) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Update unminimize script text and install ubuntu-standard when
    unminimizing a minimal image (LP: #1778777)

livecd-rootfs (2.408.35) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Fix the install command for pollinate which is added back to minimal
    images (LP: #1779406)

livecd-rootfs (2.408.34) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Add back pollinate for minimal after it is removed due to a dependency
    on vim-common. LP: #1779406.
