Bug Description
There were a whole bunch of updates available after a fresh install.
I selected ONLY Ubuntu base and ecryptfs, however while watching the detailed progress output, I saw other packages downloading and unpacking like facebook plugin and libreoffice related packages even though I KNOW I deselected them.
Perhaps the deselected items HAD to be installed because of other selected updates such as something in Ubuntu-base changed so an unselected item needed to upgrade as well due to a dependent incompatibility.
If that were the case, I would expect a notification.
