Maybe my explanation helps. Think about it. There's no other way to install a system with a live-cd. Unless you want to download all packages from the net again.
It's fairly simple. You boot the live CD. It has services you don't want on installed to the USB drive. So, the installer script, prior to copy-all, just invokes the CD's own package manager and un-installs the unwanted packages from the running CD system. Then it performs the copy-all to hard disk.
Mika already mentioned why this approach is not used. But you can use this method yourself manually. Deinstall the packages and then run grml2hd. Or write yourself a simple script to handle it for you.
