Maybe a better approach (but still hackish) would be to set it at first boot, in a way similar to https://salsa.debian.org/cloud-team/debian-vagrant-images/-/blob/master/config_space/files/etc/systemd/system/generate-sshd-host-keys.service/VAGRANT Running Something like: echo grub-pc grub-pc/install_devices multiselect $(awk '{ if ($2 == "/") { sub(/1$/, "", $1) ; print $1 } }' /proc/mounts) | debconf-set-selections Lucas
