This was a much more helpful clue than you'd think. Apparently, preseeding does not work for packages installed by debootstrap - and .disk/base_include passes package lists to debootstrap for it to install. By removing those entries from .disk/base_include, and installing them later via d-i pkgsel/include, then preseeding works as intended. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJTVOQEAAoJEMkPnLkOH60MjF4IAKoQp6TiCj/sNHlm/1ojlvgt FuXHY1ezHQgHXuCyXQ3HuTlkTiF8bQ864fTvcqKmEKFECYBsHt01spZGqECarN1b k3kvMo692BdG6/Kh2t+krhu+9CmuWgVpV7O2lp2lDrQ/Jv92oKI6jKTe+UyaeyI8 Pr6UA784mE+Q/RNB3z0UGhsYl/td58MVS8j0pt7Md2iXbUc0dMVEttKU6NfAEcoH adtvKsNaKphcgGSqQYPsOBOkVO2b9DcoA6CGsi9DYXTjGn21rVLZ2mvC2KSQBq7p RkOB3CwZnZ4PMm/XqhBgLRIUtM3ETAR7JnpAOFplB/K3dJIkp0bYI09lI3chzvI= =WECM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
