I am running Trisquel 7.0 LTS downloaded from http://mirror.fsf.org/trisquel-images/trisquel_7.0_i686.iso (verified with md5 checksum and ok)

The manifest file: http://mirror.fsf.org/trisquel-images/trisquel_7.0_i686.iso.manifest shows gparted 0.18.0-1 is included in ISO.

First I've Run Live session (Try Without Installing) and all running fine. (Gparted also installed)

After clean installling OS, All working fine but Gparted not found! I've checked in System Setting also terminal output is below:

pandya@pandya-desktop:~$ gparted
bash: gparted: command not found

pandya@pandya-desktop:~$ dpkg -s gparted
dpkg-query: package 'gparted' is not installed and no information is available

Finally I've to install it as below:
pandya@pandya-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install gparted -d

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
apt-clone archdetect-deb cifs-utils dpkg-repack gir1.2-timezonemap-1.0
gir1.2-xkl-1.0 libdebian-installer4 libtimezonemap1 python3-icu python3-pam
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
Suggested packages:
gpart
The following NEW packages will be installed:
gparted
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 138 not upgraded.
Need to get 540 kB of archives.
After this operation, 1,925 kB of additional disk space will be used.

So, My question is Why Gparted not installed?
Is this should be reported as Issue?

The installer uses GParted to partition the disk. Most users do not need GParted on their installed system. That is why GParted is not part of the default install. It is not a bug. The users who actually need GParted know what is partitioning, therefore certainly know as well how to install software from the package manager (like you did).

From my information, http://mirror.fsf.org/trisquel-images/trisquel_7.0_i686.iso.manifest conatins all packages pre-installed (or say comes) with OS , so there must Gparted be installed by Default! Isn't it?

The manifest contains the packages installed in the *live* system.

Trisquel just as Ubuntu doesn't include gparted by default.
As Magic B. said, gparted is used during installation in order to create the partitions, but when Trisquel is installed there's no gparted.
I would like it included just as I would like vlc,icedove,goldendict,xbmc etc etc all included in the default installation. It is a matter of personal taste..
But it is important to keep a disto minimalized so only essential programs are installed by deafult.

Anyway, how difficult is it to do a sudo apt-get install? ..

OK. Now where can I find list of programs (packages) that are installed by default in OS? (Because http://mirror.fsf.org/trisquel-images/trisquel_7.0_i686.iso.manifest contains Gparted)
