This is currently spread across different seeds, we have:

ubuntu.<release>/server
  * open-iscsi
# This is Needed by MAAS images to deploy via iscsi

ubuntu.<release>/server-ship
  * open-iscsi
  * open-iscsi-udeb
# This is for the installer on/through iscsi (server images)

ubuntu.<release>/ship
  * open-iscsi
  * open-iscsi-udeb
# This is for the installer on/through iscsi (non server images)

I think it would be enough to change the first of these, we don't need
to even touch the -ship seeds. We want this on the CD Images for
convenience and the installer as needed.

So we only talk about ubuntu.<release>/server here and have to requests in one:
a - some want to be able to remove it without removing ubuntu-server (easy, by 
drop to recommends)
b - some want it not installed by default at all, for that we would need to 
find a different solution for MAAS images and check if there are others relying 
on this.

I thought I'd make a merge proposal for Cosmic for (a) and solve it soon.
But then I realized (b) is very different, due to the unification of images I'm 
not so sure we can fix (b) easily without harmstring various use-cases.
I'll send a few mails to clarify and then come back here with either a (a) fix 
or an (a+b) fix if there is a way to do so.
