The minimal (core) installation ships the `ubuntustudio-desktop-core` metapackage instead of `ubuntustudio-desktop`, so the existing check missed it and the system was reported as Kubuntu. Fixes #2485

Summary
Ubuntu Studio installed with the minimal
ubuntustudio-desktop-coremetapackage was being reported as Kubuntu. The detection only looked forubuntustudio-desktop.list, which the core install does not create, so it fell through and the Plasma fallback labeled the system as Kubuntu.Closes #2485
Changes
/var/lib/dpkg/info/ubuntustudio-desktop-core.listwhen identifying Ubuntu Studio. The full install ships both metapackages while the core install ships only-core, so checking either one (instead of replacing) also keeps older releases that predate the split working. In every case it reports "Ubuntu Studio".Testing
ubuntu, so I couldn't exercise that path locally. @rauldipeas confirmed in [BUG] Ubuntu Studio is not detect when installed with core mode #2485 thatubuntustudio-desktop-core.listis present on both the full and core installs. It would be great if they could build this branch and confirm the output.Checklist
