I've run into this with a custom installer suite with udebs overriding those in lenny's main/debian-installer. My solution at the time was just to filter the Packages file in net-retriever so that anna was only given one version of any particular package. (Ubuntu did something similar, see [1].) However, it should probably be fixed in anna or libdebian-installer itself. :) Specifically, what happens is that anna unpacks all the packages in one batch, and then it configures all of them. But while unpacking another version of a package while another vesrion is in an unpacked-but-not-configured state is ok, it's not ok to configure a package that's already in the configured state. So if a package is in the list twice, it fails at the second configure for that package. I'm trying to better understand anna and libd-i to come up with a suitable patch...
