Nothing of relevance: all the important base packages will be installed
anyway, because other packages will depend on them.
Quoting from the description of ubuntu-base (Hoary version):
It is safe to remove this package if some of the base system packages are not
desired.
And I guess the same is true for the Warty version, but they updated the
description to reflect this only now.
