This bug is a bit twisty. What's happened is that germinate now expands
Recommends as well as Depends when expanding seeds; this causes apt to
be pulled into required from germinate's point of view, which means that
as far as it's concerned it no longer needs to be listed as build-
essential. However, the archive admin team hasn't yet actually promoted
apt and its dependencies to Priority: required.

At the moment I'm not sure whether germinate should stop expanding
Recommends in the required (and maybe even minimal) seeds since
debootstrap doesn't do that, or whether debootstrap should start
expanding Recommends. I'm inclined towards the former.

** Changed in: germinate (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: debootstrap => germinate
