On the contrary, ubuntu-minimal is minimal and doesn't pull in anything desktop-specific. It will pull in upstart->mountall->plymouth->plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text, but that's not a graphical splash screen, only a text one.

Yeah, I think that's the case; talking with Colin Watson, I understand that console-common is meant to be removed altogether but hasn't quite been obsoleted.

Reassigning this to console-tools, which seems to be the primary culprit.
