(Get the code!)
No, we actually invoke the syslinux program, so syslinux-common is not enough.
I'm going to make usb-creator-* unavailable on non-x86 architectures, rather than merely uninstallable. Obviously this isn't a real fix if you actually want to use the package on something other than amd64 or i386, but a real fix is hard.
However, with Ubuntu 11.10 and later, you can simply write Ubuntu ISO images directly (e.g. using dd) to a USB stick and they should work. You can't enable persistent storage this way, but nevertheless this should be enough for many people.
