Bug Description
It is very convenient to install all packages that are restricted due to patent/copyright issues in one command using
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-
However, this also installs non-free packages like
flashplayer
unrar
which for some people are not desired.
My suggestion is to create a meta-package which depends on a subset of packages that ubuntu-
This will bring more convenience to people who are more strict about the softwares on their system.
