Issue/Bug Description:
When installing Pop! with custom partitions, and choosing XFS for root, the installer will still uninstall the "xfsprogs" package during the post-install cleanup.

Steps to reproduce (if you know):
Format partitions, 1gb fat32 for /boot/efi, rest for / with XFS.
Choose custom install, without formatting.

Expected behavior:
I would expect the "xfsprogs" package to stay installed, otherwise fsck fails, which happens during the update of the initramfs, and you'd lack any userspace tools.

Other Notes:
Log from the installer, when I retried in a VM. This also happens with a custom install with disk encryption (LUKS2).
