By placing the kernel in minimal, we can achieve the following improvements: 1. Space savings - there are redundant packages present in the ship-live pool and in the live layer. Adding the kernel to minimal means that the kernel is already in the live layer, and we don't then also need it in the pool. 2. Time savings - informal vm testing suggests more than a minute improvement to have the kernel preinstalled over installing it at runtime. As always, there is a cost tradeoff: 1. If a different kernel is desired, we need to be able to remove this preinstalled kernel. Relevant curtin and subiquity changes are already landed. 2. When installing that other kernel, it'll take longer than today due to still needing to install a kernel at runtime + the time cost of removing the preinstalled kernel.
