Title:
  Intel video driver not installed by default on Lubuntu 16.04 fresh
  install

Status in lubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in lubuntu-meta source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * xserver-xorg-video-intel is not included in Lubuntu ISO because it
  switched to recommends on the common seeds. Since Lubuntu ISO doesn't
  include recommends, so xserver-xorg-video-intel is missing (but
  included on other flavors).

   * xserver-xorg-video-intel is not mandatory for Intel users, but it
  needs a recent hardware to work correctly. According to the packages
  description :

  "The use of this driver is discouraged if your hw is new enough (ca. 2007
  and newer). You can try uninstalling this driver and let the server use
  it's builtin modesetting driver instead."

   * However, Lubuntu targets old hardwares, and there are a lot of
  reports from Intel users that, without this drivers, X doesn't load.

  [Test Case]

   * Install Lubuntu 16.04 with an official 16.04 ISO, on a system with an Intel graphic device.
   * Boot on the installed system, and the boot process should stop before X is loading.
   * To confirm the fix, install manually xserver-xorg-video-intel and boot again.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Stick with the old driver may have an impact on the performances of
  the driver (the new one should be better for 3D and others graphic
  stuff).

   * However, others flavors kept this driver on the ISO, and according
  to the reports, it's probably safe to keep this driver for now.

  [Original report]

  I did a new installation of Lubuntu 16.04 LTS on a intel atom netbook
  installation completes with any problem.

  On booting the installed system i only got a black screen with the message: "/dev/sda1: clean, 121563/920272 files"
  I've changed to a terminal (CTRL+ALT+F1), and reading logs i've
   found xserver-xorg-video-intel package is NOT INSTALLED

  installed the xserver-xorg-video-intel package, and everything works
  ok now.

  Tried again with other computers (intel gpu all) and i've downloaded
  the iso again and still happens

  can confirm this happen to at least other two people on ubuntu forums:
