Bug Description

ubuntu-minimal currently depends on ureadahead. I am not too sure of the rationale behind that, but it seems to me that ureadahead is not a core feature of Ubuntu; it's more like an optimization.

It's perfectly reasonable to assume that ureadhead would be better left off a Ubuntu system in certain circumstances. For example, someone may elect to remove ureadahead to work around bug #523484. The core Ubuntu functionality would not change; it would only boot a little slower.

As such, can it be considered to remove ureadahead from ubuntu-minimal dependencies?
