Bug Description
Due to the change in bug# 1621210, ghostscript now recommends fonts-noto-cjk. This package is a ~76MB in size and put the Ubuntu Server ISO well over the 700MB limit.
The Ubuntu Server team has considered the following:
1) Remove the print server task. Currently, in Xenial and Yakkety, the print server task does not even show up as an option due to bug# 1624519. However, removing this is a rather large tasks to take up right before a release. We would like to avoid this option if possible.
2) Blacklist fonts-noto-cjk in the server-ship seed [1]. We were told that blacklisting is for very specific causes and this was not an appropriate use case.
3) Change the recommends of ghostscript on fonts-noto-cjk.
4) Other?

Gunnar, do you have an opinion on this? What would be the consequence of reverting the ghostscript change?
