** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ Server users installing with a preseeded local repository.
+ 
+ [Test case]
+ Preseed "apt-setup/local0/repository" for a server install.
+ The installation process should complete normally, and the local repository 
should be enabled on the installed system.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ This adds support for handling local repositories and configuring them in 
preseed without adding the "deb" prefix to specify the type of source entry. 
There is no likely regression type except that of enabling local repositories 
on installs where the preseed is present and currently seen as invalid by 
base-installer where the issue was not noticed by systems administrators.

  hi,
  it looks like configure_apt from library.sh will add the contents of 
apt-setup/local0/repository verbatim to the sources file. This works only if 
the repository is prefixed with "deb ", which for apt-setup is optional. Not 
using a repository prefixed with "deb" will result in an invalid sources.list 
file. See also https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T94177 and 
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/250380
