Great - now fork the hamara meta package, remove lxde related packages

See hamara-sugam and hamara-sugam-recommended here:
https://git.hamaralinux.org/hamara-developers/hamara-packages/blob/development-debian/hamara-packages/1.0/hamara-meta/debian/control

We should then be able to build an iso that has mate as default.
