So what happens in that ubiquity takes the list of packages to remove
(minimal-remove) from the seed, and marks them for removal; but does not
remove any packages no longer needed by those. Hence, the autoremovals
are correct - these packages are no longer needed.

There is a further complication, as some of the packages have maintainer
scripts: The blacklist only works for packages without maintainer
scripts, hence we can't simply extend the blacklist with these packages.
The reason for that is simple: We avoid copying the files of these
packages.

Possibly we should run apt-get autopurge after copying it all.
