Public bug reported:

Due to an oversight in development, Kubuntu was left without any
functional configuration for the "Customize" screen of the installer
(the pkgselect module), while Ubuntu Unity was left with pkgselect
misconfigured. This causes all package customization features to do
nothing in Kubuntu, and will likely result in similar (or worse)
misbehavior in Ubuntu Unity.

The fix is to copy Lubuntu's pkgselect configuration to Kubuntu and
Ubuntu Unity, and then customize the "packages to purge for a minimal
install" list for both.

In my opinion this should be fixed prior to beta release, as the
pkgselect module is *glaringly* obvious in the installers for Kubuntu
and Ubuntu Unity. If it does nothing (or causes the installer to crash),
the user experience will be very degraded.
