With latest ubiquity upload, the page is only shown if:
* --no-sso command line argument was not specified
* UBIQUITY_NO_SSO environment variable is not present 
* ubuntuone-client is installed (on the cd image)

In terms of technology used, the page does REST queries to
login.ubuntu.com and gets an authentication token which is stored
encrypted in the gnome-keyring. Thus any applications that do
authenticate to ubuntu1 services with gnome-keyring api can, with user's
permission, access u1 services. There is no dependency on neither qt,
gnome nor ubuntu online accounts frameworks.

if you still want to opt out, imho it's best to e.g. add
.disk/environment file which would then be sourced by ubiquity to allow
setting many of the environmental overrides that ubiquity supports on
per flavour basis and cd-image build time.

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
