Yeah. I don't understand the source of the problem though or what
caused it to become fixed.

There's an exposed option
$ lh_config --help |grep mini
[-f|--bootstrap-flavour minimal|standard]
but it has no functional effect, as Marteen pointed. If the option
isn't intended to be further supported (and is perhaps only retained
to avoid breaking builds for people who already use it) then it should
eventually be removed. I guess -p mini would be the supported
interface.

I was hoping the only reason aptitude was being installed was since it
is priority:important, so I hoped that this would avoid [attempting
to] install it. As it turns out it didn't work, apparently due to
#448210.
Plus it fixes a partially-unimplemented feature.
BTW how did my patch break mini?
