Bug Description

I would like to have the option of selecting metapackages (ubuntu-desktop, etc) to be able to install a desktop system using Subiquity. Maybe as a last optional option like "ubiquity/success_command" or so.

This would be the first step to my wish, which is to automate installations made by Subiquity (with answers.yaml) to get a desktop system. The current way of doing this, with a preseed file including a mix of d-i options with ubiquity options is really a mess.

Thanks.

We will support some kind of solution for noninteractive installs which I guess will probably allow you to install arbitrary packages. But subiquity will not grow an option in the UI for this (for the interactive use case you can just reboot and install the packages).
