Enable Ubuntu minimal builds
Metadata
Current evaluation
Maintainer-filed enhancement to let the LXD backend use Ubuntu minimal images; LXD still hard-maps Ubuntu aliases to coreXX images, with no implementation evidence.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The maintainer clearly identifies a valid need: testing with minimal images exposes hidden dependencies by guaranteeing fewer preinstalled packages. Current LXD mappings use images such as core20, core22, and core24, while the requested API and supported release set remain unspecified but the enhancement is concrete enough to investigate and implement.
