[Bug 917089] [NEW] Preseeding suite has no effect

[Jörg Herzinger]

Public bug reported:

Setting a suite using preseeding has no effect at all. I was able to reproduce this using the Natty and Oneiric installer. With Maverick it worked.
As documented here (https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/installation-guide/amd64/preseed-contents.html) my preseed.txt contains the following:

d-i mirror/suite string lucid

Setting the mirror, apt-proxy, partitioning scheme etc. works.

What is: Install oneiric with oneiric installer although "suite lucid" is set.
Expected outcome: Install lucid using oneiric installer for firmware driver reasons.

** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
