Comment 18 for bug 2032933

>> Is lxd / zfs now installed by default in the minimal images? It seems like some zfs things are loaded by default.

> The packages in the new minimal image do not includes lxd; they do include the lxd-installer shim package though. I see no zfs package by default. See manifest @ http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/minimal/daily/mantic/current/mantic-minimal-cloudimg-amd64.manifest

I do see it in the kernel change only image, 20230824-after-kernel-change-before-seed-change-mantic-minimal-cloudimg-amd64, which I suspect what you were seeing. This is likely because this image was installed with `recommends` of all package installs including the kernel. Later image, with seed changes etc., do not install `recommends`.
