The fundamental issue is that we shouldn't be attempting to do any conversion during a fresh installation (whether that is done through debootstrap, debian-installer or live-helper). Because linux-base is a new package, we cannot simply check that this is a fresh installation of linux-base. Instead, I've added a check that (1) /etc/fstab exists and (2) one or more linux-image packages are already installed. I believe this will do the right thing.
