Title:
  unminimize script is not restoring man-db

Status in livecd-rootfs source package in Bionic:

Bug description:
  Running the unminimize script from a minimal image (20180625 serial)
  results in a system that is missing man-db and potentially additional
  packages form ubuntu-standard. The script does restore the man pages,
  but an additional step of installing man-db is required to use them.

  This applies to the 20180625 serial for both xenial and bionic.

  The expectation is that unminimize would install man in addition to
  restoring the man pages.

  Are there other packages from ubuntu-standard that should also be
  installed during unminimize?

  [Impact]

   * Users running the unminimized script on a minimal image may be
  confused by the end result. The unminimize text indicates "restores
  the content and packages that are found on a default Ubuntu server
  system", but this is not the case as only the existing packages are
  restored plus ubuntu-minimal.

  [Test Case]

   * Run the unminimize script from a minimal image.

  [Regression Potential]

   * The changes only impact the unminimize script written to minimal
  images. As such it will only impact minimal images and only users
  wishing to rehydrate the image.

  [Other Info]

   * Cloud images have been built using the linked livecd-rootfs
  branches. The kvm images are available under
