Matt, this patch won't be accepted because it will break as soon as you
run ubuntu-meta's update script again (it is important for us that this
work, which means that it is strictly forbidden to patch its generated
output directly), and the seed syntax doesn't support alternatives. This
isn't as easy to fix as all that.
Furthermore, as previously stated - but I'll restate it here since you
expressed doubt - we actually think it's a good thing that ubuntu-
minimal should be removed if you deviate from the standard Ubuntu
system; it means that we have a much better idea what we're dealing with
in support terms, and it means that we can tell people to ensure that
ubuntu-minimal (et al) are installed as a baseline for problem
resolution. I know that the current situation is controversial in places
but it *is* deliberate.
I would like to see the upgrade tools do a better job of handling the
case where ubuntu-minimal is missing, and any case where the sort of
forceful interactivity you describe is required (aside from three-way
merging of configuration files) should be considered as a bug.

ubuntu-minimal should support recommends (was: syslog-ng causes ubuntu-minimal
to be removed.)
