You have been subscribed to a public bug:
Ubuntu server cloud images include libpng by default. This is
unnecessary and poor practice. It wastes space and poses a security
risk.
Looks like it is installed because "ubuntu-standard" recommends
"plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text" which depends on "libplymouth2" which
depends on "libpng12-0".
The description for "plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text" is "graphical boot
animation and logger - ubuntu-logo theme". This is obviously
inappropriate for any server image, and especially for a cloud-based
server image.
