message:
move wvdial from desktop-common to supported-hardware-desktop - there's no
longer a reason to install it by default without gnome-network-admin.
Once the GUI went away it was no longer appropriate to include it as another moving part in the default system install.
However, it is still in main as a supported software component, and it's appropriate to add it back into the LiveCD as an optional, installable component, space allowing.
(wvdial takes up approximately 920KiB, with its dependencies; so ultimately we'll want to replace this with something smaller that integrates properly with the desktop, but for now it appears we have the space.)
The rationale for removing wvdial from the LiveCD is given in the logs for the seeds at lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/platform.lucid/:
