I'm sorry but this is neither on point nor a good advice. I can't be bothered making a new packer image each time a new ubuntu image is up. And people to use USB keys to make their friend and family try Ubuntu (or you know, as a backup). Also, because even if your point is wrong, you're kinda right: you can disable autoupdate in the seed file or during install. And also, minimal image are a good idea/good practice and won't ever take 30 minute even if your image is really old.
