Looks like Ubiquity and Ubiquity-frontend-gtk are interconnected with gnome-shell, gnome-shell-common and ubuntu-session. If you are to make live iso with only unity, you'd have to install ubiquity, ubiquity-frontend-gtk using some other way.
Check in /etc/PinguyBuilder/isolinux, if you are using Pinguy to build it.
Notwithstanding the effort, ect. I can't fathom the purpose here. Atm unity is available & usable in 17.10 & will be in 18.04, at least to start.
So what would this "iso" reflect. A point in time artful, some point in time b*, or something else?
From a general user perspective non lts releases are useless, once eol one has to advance, the repos are moved & locked, ppa builds are no longer possible.
So my view is as far as unity it's either 16.04 or *possibly* 18.04 if it remains viable & usable. In any event one would want to be able to install & update all the other stuff, whether from the ubuntu repos or ppa's.
Good pointed questions here.
1. If it remains stable through 17.10 then it may at some point be considered as an ubuntu-distro in the furture, version unity9 for desktops. Unity8 is already forked to another group so Unity9 would be the logical next step for desktops.
The current .ISO that I just built this am: runs on the current 17.10 and is fully update-able. It is unity7 only with lightdm.
The ISO I created this morning , when hard installed, can do all the features you mention above. Again ..idea is to have Unity7 distro Uubuntu. I am not worried about what happens in the repos with 18.04 because all I am getting is "should be's", "probably", "maybe" , "we hope" etc.. and I understand because they have downsized their development resources considerably. I too hope that they continue to keep unity7 during 18.04. The other thing is that I can now hack and modify untiy7 to unity9 and compiz and hopefully clean up some bugs and other issues . Once I do something effective and proper with this I could perhaps request that unity9 be reopened for development, most likely , from a group of community maintainers but also would need Canonical help. It's just an idea. If they shoot that down then maybe a ppa.From a general user perspective non lts releases are useless, once eol one has to advance, the repos are moved & locked, ppa builds are no longer possible.
So my view is as far as unity it's either 16.04 or *possibly* 18.04 if it remains viable & usable. In any event one would want to be able to install & update all the other stuff, whether from the ubuntu repos or ppa's.

Other than sourceforge.. is there anywhere else to upload iso files that is somewhat secure? I cant afford cloud.
