Balint, if you think this is about disk space, I'm afraid you've missed
my point. These packages are individually tiny. The point is that
365MiB of packages is a *lot* of packages - all of which are
unsupported, many of which are no longer available in Ubuntu at all
anymore, each of which represents a change in behavior between an
upgraded system and a newly installed system that causes a combinatoric
explosion of possible configurations in Ubuntu's "supported" upgrade
path - "supported" in quotes, because in practice, any time a user
stumbles because of such a difference, they will categorically told by
the developers to remove the unsupported package.
The default behavior of Ubuntu should give users systems which, on
upgrade, are as well-supported and supportable as new installs. The
current behavior, in its asymmetry, does not give us that. The tools
are wrong.
** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu Bionic)
