The definition of "Ubuntu Server (minimized)" might be the server-minimal seed [1]. The seed nor ubuntu-server-minimal list ubuntu-advantage-tools as an explicit dependency. It gets installed because it is a dependency of update-manager-core / ubuntu-release-upgrader-core.
It seems ubuntu- advantage- tools is preinstalled on ubuntu- server- minimal. I have spun up a lxd container with a jammy minimal image with:
``` minimal: jammy jm
lxc launch ubuntu-
$ apt list --installed | grep ubuntu-advantage advantage- tools/now 30~22.04 amd64 [installed,local]
ubuntu-
$ cat /etc/cloud/ build.info
build_name: minimal
serial: 20240124.1
```
