DVD livefs always removes java packages

Additionally, you can see that there are some ttf packages that get removed. Same situation for them, but they are pulling in xutils too (Bug 290404).

Indeed, we need a desktop seed equivalent for the DVD, or else we need to move icedtea6-plugin somewhere else.

The ttf removals are odd though. I think what's happening here is that scim-tables-zh only recommends these packages and so they don't show up as broken when ubiquity experimentally removes them. This is definitely a bug but horribly painful ...

  Recommends: ttf-arphic-gbsn00lp | ttf-arphic-gkai00mp, ttf-arphic-bsmi00lp | ttf-arphic-bkai00mp

<cjwatson> superm1: horrible hack alert
<cjwatson> d-i pkgsel/language-pack-patterns string language-pack-gnome-$LL icedtea6-plugin <etc>

This brings up an interesting idea for ubiquity then too. How about
making IT possible to do just what is being hacked in here, and
allowing packages that are in the apt cache on the DVD to be preseeded
as to install too via another key.

I thought that was pretty much the intent of this bug report, yes. :-) Just wanted to provide a workaround for 8.10.

Assigning foundations team and milestoning for Beta.

This bug relates to Bug #335596. It's part of the issue contributing to Bug #335596. The issue at hand is the scope. At the oem-priority meeting we decided to un-dup these due to scope. This was set medium because while it is a problem, the other bug is much more important to us.

I've added a preseedable ubiquity/keep-installed question as a first step, and will give it a reasonable default value on the DVD. I'll keep looking into this, though.

On reflection, I don't think that the ubuntu-meta task is a suitable fix here. I would rather not create metapackages whose only meaning is dependent on DVD size requirements, rather than having a clear abstract meaning. Fortunately, I don't think that's necessary in order to fix this bug.

This further change to ubiquity also fixes the ttf-*/Recommends problem described earlier in this bug, since it now explicitly iterates through dependencies which makes it much easier to say that those fonts should stay installed when packages that recommend them are staying installed.

  * Expand dependencies of packages we know we want to keep (language packs,
    etc.) before calculating which packages to blacklist from file copying
    or to remove. This is more correct in the presence of Recommends of
    language packs, and furthermore saves considerable time when
    blacklisting. My test results for various language pack sets:
    - en: 4:00 -> 3:30
    - de+en+es+fr+ja+ko+nb+nds+nl+nn+si+sk+sv: 5:30 -> 2:50
    - all: 14:37 -> 0:10 (!)
    This doesn't quite solve LP #335596 because testing a large number of
    packages for removal when there genuinely are lots of packages to remove
    is still quite slow, but it very significantly improves the worst cases.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 1.11.17

---------------
ubiquity (1.11.17) jaunty; urgency=low

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Pack the timezone_map in an AspectFrame instead of a regular Gtk Frame.
  * Plot the time zone cities using a Miller cylindrical map projection with
    adjustments for the shifted left edge and missing arctic region of the
    map.
  * Account for daylight savings when highlighting a region in the
    timezone_map (LP: #335355).
  * Properly set the percent of each partition in the segmented_bar on the
    advanced page (LP: #334826).
  * Clean up the code around handling a partitioning choice change.
    Show the format warning when the disk is automatically selected
    (LP: #335704).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: base-installer
    1.98ubuntu3.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Stop the user-setup component from believing it's done after the user
    selects "go back" at a weak password dialog (LP: #340549).
  * Add ubiquity/keep-installed question which can be preseeded with a
    space-separated list of packages to keep installed even if they aren't
    in the desktop manifest and aren't in the list of language packs to keep
    (LP: #290400).
