Hi,

I agree, this is a great improvement. I wonder though whether it is
justified to add SSH again? It is of course just a single package being
dragged in, but it is "special" in the sense that it's often used to
provide the very access to the machine. Installing SSH already during
system installation avoids the need of ever logging in usually.

Kind regards
Ralf
