Bug Description

With 22.04, openssh-server is baked into the image curtin copies to the target. The ssh:install-server key no longer controls whether openssh-server gets installed. It should be easy enough to have the bit of code that installs openssh-server when the key is true also remove it when the key is false.

Then I should also point out that other things like ufw are also baked in. Those are the only two I've noticed so far, but I haven't been looking very hard.

It seems to me like `allow-pw: false` does not work either. Could that also be a side effect of 22.04 having the server built in?

fwiw, this worked for me with 22.04 LTS ISO.

This is fixed in the 23.10 dailies. I'm not sure it's really practical to fix this for the next 22.04 point release, unfortunately.
