Firstly, please also ensure that jeos profile script works too. It has

As we figured out during our chat, "doesn't work" does not mean
installation breaks but rather than GNOME is always installed. I don't
think its a big issue or at least its not an issue libosinfo should
solve since we are doing the right thing. This would be another bug
worth filing on Debian.

Right, as we discussed. We want to add a flag on the installer scripts
that tells apps about this requirement and then we need to honour that
in Boxes. Lets do that before merging this patch and modify this patch
to make use of it.

Do these have to be passed through commandline and can't be passed
through initrd? If so, do we have this properly setup for JEOS
profile?

Is it so that if you don't eject from script, user will get prompted
about it? If not, I think we better leave this for apps.
