This is a more complex issue; it's not just about LXD, but the general story for installing "minimal" installs.
The fact that openssh-server was not installed as part of the ubuntu- server is a separate bug we've covered in a different bug report. Currently, desktops allow picking a "full" install or "minimal" installation. You also somewhat have that option for the d-i mini.iso; but IIRC not really on the new Subiquity installer. I think this needs to be a larger question than just for LXD; and will need addressing elsewhere than in ubuntu-meta in any case. Reassigning to debian-cd (where we have the grub menus and more magic for selecting "minimal" install). ** Package changed: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) => debian-cd (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1563026 Title: LXC/LXD installed by default on Ubuntu server Status in debian-cd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When performing a new installation of Ubuntu server 16.04 Beta 2, LXC and LXD are included in the default packages even when "Virtual Server" is not selected as an installation task. This brings in all of the required dependencies as well, obviously, which seems like it is not the best default behavior to have. When installing from a non-UEFI boot, the user may select "minimal install" from the "F4" menu. This menu is not available from the UEFI grub environment, making it apparently impossible to select an installation that does not include the LXC and LXD suite by default.
