Current list is here: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/seeds/kubuntu.bionic/desktop.minimal-remove
Ubuntu Mate's current one is here as an example: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mate-dev/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntu-mate.bionic/view/head:/desktop.minimal-remove
Kubuntu's current desktop seed is here: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-dev/ubuntu-seeds/kubuntu.bionic/view/head:/desktop
Packages enclosed in () are desktop recommends rather than full depends.
I know I got push-back in the -devel channel, but I would like us to consider excluding:
from the minimal ISO.
It is the only one that I know of (is there an easy apt query?), but I think just as we know what Qt4 dependencies remain, I think it would be a plus to offer a Qt5-only installed system.
Ok. My first draft.

As trying to con ubiquity into using a local test file just seems to crash it, I pushed my draft exclusion list to the seeds to allow testing with images spun by the ubuntu infra.
1st image with the minimal option is the AMD64 one here @ http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/20180317.1/
Neon's selling point is it's a slim build. Several legacy apps shouldn't be included into the iso, but made readily available in the repo. I'll refer to them soon. At any rate, it's pretty annoying when some of those get pinned to Notifications by default.
