No, that's related, but even with the workaround for those packages,
the method is taking much longer on the DVD.

Bug description:
This bug is related to LP#290400 . OEM is feeling real pain as they use the
DVD install. The DVD install is taking an extremely long time to calculate the
packages that are to be removed as compared to the CD install.
OEM tries to work around this issue the best they can by some preseed hacks to
not let it remove *any* language packs, or fonts or anything during that stuff.
The only packages that end up getting removed are the ubiquity ones and their
dependencies. I've attached a relative snippet of the hack that OEM is using
today as a workaround in there preseed:
<snip>
# *Horrible* hack to work around bug 290400
# this should be addressed for Jaunty and no longer necessary then
d-i pkgsel/language-pack-patterns string language-pack-gnome-$LL
icedtea6-plugin ttf-dzongkha ttf-arphic-gbsn00lp ttf-arphic-bsmi00lp
openoffice.org-hyphenation openoffice.org-filter-binfilter libgcj-common
m17n-db m17n-contrib default-jre default-jre-headless libgcj9-jar
libxalan2-java-gcj libxerces2-java-gcj libjaxp1.3-java-gcj libgcj-bc libgcj9-0
gcj-4.3-base bsh-gcj
</snip>
This situation gets worst as there are future machines that are going to be
using Intel Atom processors. OEM can't afford to have a 12-25 minute extra step
that does nothing. It's taking that long because the atom proc is slow.
