systemd-resolved was previously shipped in the systemd package, and became a separate binary package during the kinetic cycle. This package provides the default DNS resolver for Ubuntu, so we want it in ubuntu- minimal.

In the past we briefly had libnss-resolve seeded (between xenial and bionic LTSes but not in any LTS) but it was removed because: - it was redundant; /etc/resolv.conf was consistent and correct. - its presence could mask wrong DNS configuration resulting in difficult-to-debug differences in behavior between applications that did use nss_resolved via /etc/nsswitch.conf and those that did not (examples: i386 binaries that could not use nss_resolved because it was not installed; statically-linked go implementations that parsed /etc/resolve.conf directly and did not load NSS modules) This new recommends was noticed specifically because of some broken kinetic container images where /etc/resolv.conf was broken (empty) and *some* applications still worked via nss but others failed by trying to use the DNS protocol directly. (I.e.: 2nd point above) I believe systemd-resolved should drop its recommends on libnss- resolve for Ubuntu.
