Bug Description

ubuntu-desktop-bootstrap doesn't start on Ubuntu MATE.

There is not currently an autostart for ubuntu-desktop-bootstrap yet, so the installer is started by double-clicking the desktop icon or running `ubuntu-desktop-bootstrap` from a terminal. Looking at stdout, it is endlessly waiting for `subiquity_server` to start.

As ubuntu-desktop-bootstrap starts, there are a few critical logs saying: Failed to read XDG desktop portal settings. xdg-desktop-portal-gtk is seeded in Ubuntu MATE.

Thanks to some debugging by @fossfreedom, several packages are not present on the Ubuntu MATE image even though they are seeded. One example is `lvm2`.

@fossfreedom spotted that Ubuntu MATE is missing (but all other flavours are listed) in livecd-rootfs for the step that "Ensure that most things e.g. includes.chroot are copied as is"
