Review Comment:
   Yes, this is used only on the minimal build examples for conda. I am not 
entirely sure about using the `ci/scripts/install_conda.sh`. 
   The current script does not only install conda but contains all the steps 
for the minimal build in order to help debug basic build environments, based on 
the `README.md`:
   ```
   This directory shows how to bootstrap a local build from source on Linux with
   an eye toward maximum portability across different Linux distributions. This
   may help for contributors debugging build issues caused by their local
   environments.
   ```
   In my opinion splitting the `install/build` steps on two different scripts, 
the install on `ci/scripts/install_conda.sh` and the build on 
`python/examples/minimal_build/build_conda.sh` might be confusing for the 
purpose of debugging minimal builds.
   I also understand that having two "install_conda" scripts is also not ideal.
   Is your idea to have these two steps split on two different scripts?
   If that's the case I would propose to include it on a different ticket.
