OK, thanks. This log indicates that pulseaudio is not in fact installed for installations from the alternate CD. In that case I think we're left with Steve's (very plausible) hypothesis for why it's pulled in for DVD installations:

  12:05 <slangasek> cjwatson: regarding pulseaudio being pulled in on Kubuntu DVD, it appears to be part of the kubuntu-dvd-live task via openjdk-6-jre

It's only a Recommends, so in principle ubiquity could decide to remove this. Nevertheless, I'm reluctant to deal with this by way of a ubiquity fix because it's *also* a problem on the live DVD filesystem. We could fix this in livecd-rootfs (apt-get install kubuntu-dvd-live^ pulseaudio-), or we could blacklist pulseaudio in the Kubuntu dvd-live seed, or we could drop the Recommends to a Suggests in openjdk-6-jre. We'll have to look at this in more detail to see which option is best.
