For d-i, a special type of stripped down .debs is used (udebs) and these
are installed in special packages indices in the archive; these are not
supposed to be installed on an end-user system, only when creating d-i
images.  However images using ubiquity are essentially like a installed
system, so ubiquity has a script to pull a copy of all the latest udeb
into its package, and embeds all udebs it calls.  It's a copy, but in a
way this avoids code duplication between d-i and ubiquity images.
