I've added a preseedable ubiquity/keep-installed question as a first step, and will give it a reasonable default value on the DVD. I'll keep looking into this, though.
On reflection, I don't think that the ubuntu-meta task is a suitable fix here. I would rather not create metapackages whose only meaning is dependent on DVD size requirements, rather than having a clear abstract meaning. Fortunately, I don't think that's necessary in order to fix this bug.
