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.

[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.
