I'd suggest that the principal udeb package to consider as responsible

Debian Policy specifies the base packages as being of Priority: required
and Priority: important.
actually, after looking at some more installer documentation
(http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/internals/ch02.html) - I'm
thinking it's more likely to be the base-installer package
bootstrap-base has the package description 'Install the base system' and
depends on base-installer. An installer log has

   Oct  7 16:48:43 main-menu[190]: INFO: Menu item 'bootstrap-base' selected

followed by debootstrap installing the base system. An example is

   Oct  7 16:49:33 debootstrap: Preparing to unpack 
.../archives/init_1.21_i386.deb ...
   Oct  7 16:49:33 debootstrap: dpkg: regarding .../archives/init_1.21_i386.deb 
containing init, pre-dependency problem:
   Oct  7 16:49:33 debootstrap:  init pre-depends on systemd-sysv |

   Oct  7 16:49:33 debootstrap:   systemd-sysv is not installed.
   Oct  7 16:49:33 debootstrap:   sysvinit-core is not installed.
   Oct  7 16:49:33 debootstrap:   upstart is not installed.
   Oct  7 16:49:33 debootstrap:

Ahhh...  Thanks.
