Makes no difference. These servers are not configured for v6,
while the first ones I used were. There are no v6 entries for
the host in any case.

Didn't try it. The failure happens really early, before the
preseed file is downloaded.

This worked. Even with mirror/udeb/suite set to 'stable'.
For anyone who comes along later, the udeb versions were
anna 1.52
base-installer 1.154
libc6-udeb 2.19-18+deb8u4
netcfg 1.131+deb8u1
I think this bug can probably be downgraded until someone else can
reproduce it, or at least marked as 'not found' in the later version
of libc6-udeb. If I get time I will try with the daily installer and
report on that.
