Wow, the blast from the past. :) > Thank you. Perhaps we should document how to do it and close this bug? > > What is the current recommended way to copy debconf values from d-i to > /target/? A global grep on debconf-copydb in d-i packages returned two results: ,---[ pkgsel/debian/postinst ]--- | # d-i debconf variables used by packages | debconf-copydb -p \ | "^(debian-installer/language|debian-installer/country|debian-installer/keymap|passwd/username)$" \ | configdb target_configdb `--- ,---[ console-setup/debian/console-setup-udeb.base-installer ]--- | # create the required templates | debconf-copydb -p "^keyboard-configuration/.*$" configdb target_configdb `--- I'm not aware of other mechanisms, but then I hadn't been confronted with this problem until just now.
