This will make sure that ubuntu22.04 contains the same software as ubuntu20.04 to make upgrading a breeze.

Existing difference

I don't need build-essential and many others packages you propose... why mandatory?

The proposal was to make 22.04 behave the same as 20.04, so that you can upgrade without having to worry about breaking your pipeline. For us, the pipeline broke due to these changes, so we had to fix on multiple places due to these mandatory changes

Hi @lucianog-telnyx,

We ran into a similar issue recently. Our workaround was to pin our runners to the summerwind/actions-runner:v2.329.0-ubuntu-20.04 tag, which resolved the problem for now.

It appears the newer latest image tag is missing packages that were included in ...-ubuntu-20.04.

If these packages were removed intentionally (perhaps to create a slimmer base image), would the team consider publishing an additional tag (e.g., ...-full or latest-full or similar) that restores these packages? This would be a great help for teams who have a dependency on them.
