I don't believe this latter statement is true, except perhaps by a
temporary bug in some milestone CD images [1]. An exhaustive search of
the germinate output for all previous releases states that it has only
ever been installed on the live CD, and not intentionally copied to the
hard disk.
[1] At one point in the history of the live CD installer, it did not
remove those packages that form part of the installer itself from
the installed system. I fixed this in version 0.99.21 on 2 March
2006.
