Colin points out that ubuntu-minimal is Priority: important and hence gets into debootstrap. That's the mechanism how ubuntu-minimal is installed (as it doesn't have any reverse dependencies, in particular not ubuntu-{standard,touch,desktop}. So we might need to consider alternative ways.

 One option would be to move ubuntu-minimal from "upstart" to "init", and promote "init" to required. init currently Pre-Depends: upstart | systemd-sysv, so for now this wouldn't change anything. But we need to explicitly seed "upstart" in touch then. The main thing to figure out is whether the image build process gets along with removing systemd-sysv and installing upstart.
