Is it not possible to install the kubuntu metapackage (or one of them)

If that was possible, then we could add a new metapackage to our
ubuntustudio seeds that could be optionally installed, and then switch
the seeds to that metapackage once we are happy.
Probably some of us are just hard of thinking :) That would increase the
ISO size by the size of the plasma meta, though the resulting ISO would
probably still fit on a DVD (if those are still a thing). DL time would go
up yet a again. It would, at this point, be a next cycle thing of course.
We would need at least an optional -plasma-desktop package, but more
realistically we would need to split -default-settings into
-default-setting and -xfce-desktop (replace "desktop" with "settings" if
needed).
I guess it is possible for the plasma part to be dl and install during ISO
install rather than included on the ISO. So there might be a default DE on
the ISO, but at install time a different DE could be selected. I do not
know how to do that, but the installer already DL and installes non-free
packages so there must be a way.
