Hey Matthew! When you check what the ./update script does, it actually executes germinate-update-metapackage from germinate, which on the other hand uses the ubuntu and platform seeds to repopulate the metapackage contents. So to get it removed from ubuntu-server-minimal, you will first need to remove it from the server-minimal seed. All the Ubuntu-specific seeds are hosted on Launchpad in the following git repository:
