This seed contains a common set of packages for minimal Ubuntu server and minimal Ubuntu cloud. * feature: no-follow-recommends == Packages needed for the system to operate == * apparmor * apport * apt * cloud-init * dbus * flash-kernel [riscv64] # DTB upgrades when booting via grub * netbase * pollinate * s390-tools [s390x] * snapd * sudo * sudo-rs * systemd * systemd-resolved * systemd-sysv * udev * ubuntu-release-upgrader-core * unminimize == Block device / filesystem tools == * e2fsprogs == Other == ubuntu-drivers is installed in the server-minimal-common seed because the environment that the installer runs in does not have apt configured the same way as the installed system (or, more pedantically, the filesystem tree that will be copied to the installed system), so it essentially runs "chroot /target ubuntu-drivers install --gpgpu" or similar. It's also not useless to have installed in the target system: the user can add hardware later and install drivers then. * ubuntu-drivers-common
