When executed within the installer (with --new-install), tasksel silently installs hidden tasks such as localization tasks which match the current language ($LANG) even if all visible tasks are unchecked.

Which language did you choose at the beginning of the installation ?
AFAICS English or French install util-linux-locales, but German or Italian do not.

Packages installed by tasksel can be seen in installer logs (/var/log/installer/syslog) or apt logs (/var/log/apt/history.log).
