As part of the preseed, we install openssh-server and gdebi-core. APT reports that 497K get fetched for that, 2024K are used afterwards. After the installation, we install a custom version of python-jsonschema, utah-common, and utah-client. The packages for those three add up to 112K. The whole utah tree checked out from bzr including all the provisioning is 2.4M. Some of that won't be installed, but even if we assume everything is, and double the size to account for .pyc files, that still gives us under 5 MB for those packages, and under 8 total.

I ran minimal-virtual.run on a server, and checked the utah directories afterwards. /var/cache/utah contained 4K, and /var/lib/utah had 120K. There may be some other issue with the preseeding we're doing, but the parts in direct service of utah don't seem to be large enough to cause the problem. Do you still have that minimal-virtual install so we can compare it to a utah minimal-virtual install? If not, I can create one.
