Bug Description

Upon starting the system for my xubuntu intrepid computer, I get an ubuntu screen that shows the progress bar while the system is loading. Shouldn't this be a xubuntu-specific screen? I can see it confusing new people.

This is the screen I'm talking about.

Thanks for your report. This is a bug in germinate (the tool we use to construct package lists for CDs, tasks in the archive, and various other things), namely bug 271309. We're deferring the fix for this until just after alpha-6, as the fix is quite invasive and I didn't want to destabilise the alpha release.
