Current evaluation

Add per-base ignored-package lists so stage-packages excludes packages preinstalled in Jammy and Noble and does not descend to glibc. Implemented by merged PR #1875, but the issue remains open.

Suggested action: close resolved

Reason: The issue tracker explicitly records canonical/charmcraft#1875 as a merged PR implementing the requested ignored-package lists for stage-packages on the supported Ubuntu bases. The feature is therefore already delivered, despite the issue still being open.

Issue body

### What needs to get done At least for Jammy and Noble, create lists of preinstalled packages and remove those from what gets included in stage-packages ### Why it needs to get done Right now staging a package goes all the way down to glibc.
