Bug Description

Following the decision on https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/thank-you-for-the-passionate-discussion-an-update-on-installation-options-and-provisioning-overhaul we want to revert the change which removed 'minimal' from the desktop ISO.

We basically want to go back to what we had previous cycle but change the default selection to be 'minimal' (and probably relabel the options)

It will require reverting also the changes we did to debian-cd

Approved for the FFe. This of course should get landed before beta.

One of the challenges is that this is coming in at the same time as we are trying to merge the canary features into the main image. So rather than being a straight "revert", in fact this will have to be a merge and we'll need to figure out what order we're landing things in (and preferably land it all ASAP).

Also, what does this mean for the legacy image? The legacy image doesn't use squashfs layers for minimal vs standard, but rather uses the "legacy" package removal list; so that support is all still there but if the minimal target is to become the new default, that would seem to require UI work in legacy to ensure consistency, is Desktop Team committing to take care of that so that legacy and desktop have the same default behavior?

We decided to let legacy as it is and no carry over the changes to it since the intend is to keep a fallback solution for users who need it and it doesn't need to match the new installer experience/be at parity for that.

That was a very sane decision. Thank you. Just a minimal option that doesn't install the desktop-recommends is good enough, I think.
