Is this intentional? if yes, why?

Yes. Why:

Minimal Kicksecure Qubes Template

Please work with minimal templates in mind from the get go. sys- templates with a plethora of desktop apps installed are not great.

Minimal Kicksecure Qubes Template

I don’t plan working on this. This is the Kicksecure forum but a similar request was made against Whonix for minimal Whonix templates. My longer answers there would be applicable here for Kicksecure too: Whonix minimal template? - Qubes-Whonix - Whonix Forum Minimal Whonix templates · Issue #8874 · QubesOS/qubes-issues · GitHub

@22francoise

Is there any page in the documentation that covers it?

No. Such page would need to be auto-generated or would be easily out-of-date over the releases.

@22francoise

What other packages as such are now pre-installed?

On Debian Packages refer to:

Which packages do Kicksecure meta packages install?
