[Andy Braben]

Alpha 2 will still crash with a USB install because it will not be updated.

Title:
  [MASTER] We need to better handle external payloads (Flash,

Bug description:
  At the 11.10 release archive.canonical.com collapsed under heavy load
  and started returning 503 errors.  This caused the flash package to be
  unable to grab its payload and thus caused the package to fail, which
  in turn caused the installation to fail.

  The current plan is to add metadata to a package where it can add a
  URL to retrieve its data, so ubiquity and apt-get --download-only can
  cache it.  We also need a way to queue up package installation post-
  install, for when we commit to installing flash but cannot do so due
  to network issues, or when the user wishes to have full language
  support post-install.
