As of now, the ubuntu-server cd is setup to install the packages from
the ubuntu-standard seed. So the server install can be viewed as a
subset of the desktop install. Packages that are shipped by the server
cd are defined with the server-ship seed. So there are packages on the
server cd that are not installed by default.

The current way to add new packages to the ubuntu-server install is to
add a new task in taskel (such as mail server, print server, etc... that
we did for gutsy).

However installing the serverguide package doesn't really fit in
tasksel.

I'm also not convinced that installing by default the serverguide on
every server install is the right thing to do - see my comment above
