Title:
  pkgselect module is broken in Kubuntu and Ubuntu Unity

Status in calamares-settings-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in calamares-settings-ubuntu source package in Noble:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
