Just to clear a confusion here, the manifest on cdimage.u.c lists the 
contents of the live filesystem, not the installed filesystem.

Content of the live filesystem and a freshly installed system are 
different because, some packages on the Live CD are only useful to the 
Live CD and the installer, only the language (and langpacks) the user 
selects is installed, additional software can be installed (in your case 
virtualbox packages, but also flashplugin, codecs, updates, additional 
langpacks not on the CD, i386 packages due to multiarch support if 
you're installing on amd64 and need i386 libs, ...)
