Without the dialog package is not possible
to properly use an interactive frontend.
debconf will print the following errors:
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog
debconf: (No usable dialog-like program is installed,
so the dialog based frontend cannot be used. at
/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Dialog.pm line 76, <> line 1.)

'locales' package gets installed before '12-debian-locale-gen' is executed
and generates effectively empty /etc/locales.gen in debian, which makes
dpkg-reconfigure call to locales ignore the values set by
debconf-set-selections.
* Remove /etc/locale.gen generated by 'locales' installation to ensure
proper locales generation on debian images
* Remove 'locales-all' package installation from debian element since
it's not needed anymore to build the image and cosnumes additional
~120MB of space
* Remove unused 'package-installs' dependency from debian-minimal
element

Closes-Bug: #1452400
When building an image having the elements debian and vm, cloud-init
fails with:
ci-info: !!!!!!!!Net device info failed!!!!!!!!
Looking at the source code, it executes ifconfig to gather informations
but the `debian` elements does not provide it. There is also no DHCP
client available which is rather painful.
Install isc-dhcp-client to provide a DHCP client.
Install net-tools to provide ifconfig, required by cloud-init.

debootstrap is not debian or ubuntu specific. We can make a debootstrap
element that knows how to do all of the things, and then a
debian-minimal and ubuntu-minimal image that use it. Finally, make
the debian element simply be a collection of the extra things we do to
make it look like a cloud-init based cloud image.
