Package: preseed
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i



If on the kernel command line we add

   auto=true url=file:///mnt/./preseed.cfg priority=low

the questions concerning language and keyboard reappear in the main menu
after the debconf preconfiguration file is downloaded. The answers are
then taken from preseed.cfg. I think this is because

     # Re-enable locale and kbd selection
       echo 0 >/var/run/auto-install.active

is in the postinst for network-preseed.

No such lines appear in the postinst for file-preseed, which means that
with

   auto=true file=/mnt/preseed.cfg priority=low

the language and keyboard do not reappear and preseeding cannot take place.

Regards,

Brian.
