Bug#900576: live-task-recommended: dependency on calamares brings in qt dependencies in every image

But it should™ be not a big deal - the only thing that might hurt is the
increased image size. I had the very same discussion in siduction two
years ago - so what really happend?
1. A few installed packages more in a live iso that comes before without
an installer - no big deal.
2. If installed with d-i no bad things happend.
3. If installed with calamares: At the end of the installation calamares
will be removed (including all packages that are not needed without) -
so also no big deal.
4. Increased disc size: ok, might hurt if there are images that are to
big for a normal medium.

Calamares and it's dependencies should not be installed at a normal
minimmal console live image - that would be nuts.
