Hi, I just rather belatedly noticed that r53756 breaks console-setup (or at least will once we switch to it and console-setup is installed by debootstrap).
r53756 | joeyh | 2008-06-19 23:51:57 +0100 (Thu, 19 Jun 2008) | 10 lines redefine base-install.d hooks live-installer needs these hooks to run after the live system is copied in. base-installer can get by with running them after deboostrap, and the existing hooks will work ok if the system is already there. So, redefine the base-install.d hooks to run after the base system is extacted, but before the installed system is used in any way (such as using apt to install additional stuff). console-setup-udeb has a base-installer.d hook that copies its configuration into /target/etc/default/console-setup. If this isn't in place when console-setup is configured in /target, then console-setup will change the keyboard layout on the running system. Therefore the configuration needs to be in place in advance. A base-installer.d hook was the perfect place to do this; now that that facility has been removed, the closest available approximation is a partman finish.d hook, which is really not particularly correct. Note that the live-installer hook ordering would not have been a problem here, as that just copies the files over rather than unpacking and configuring the package. As far as I can see, from base-installer's point of view, this was just for consistency with live-installer rather than to fix a particular bug. Could we put it back the way it was, please? We could define base-installer.d hooks as "before any package is installed with dpkg", so it can be before bootstrap in a traditional install or after bulk filesystem copying but before anything else in a live install.
