assuming you write about the non android parts here (teh android HAL
actually makes up the smallest part of an Ubuntu Phone install), the
rootfs is assembled from binary packages from the Ubuntu archive.

for people wanting to inspect the build process of this I created the
rootstock-ng project:

bzr branch lp:project-rootstock-ng ...

there is the rootstock-touch script that will build a rootfs tarball for
you identical to how the tarballs we consume from [1] for the system
images are assembled.

additionally there is the rootstock-touch-install script that resembles
the process that is used to assemble the actual images used on
system-image.ubuntu.com
