Title:
  Setting "d-i base-installer/kernel/image none" fails to ignore
  installation w/o kernel

Status in “base-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  In my preseed, I have "d-i base-installer/kernel/image none" so that
  the installer will bypass installing a kernel (since I don't have one
  in the pool for this system).  I am manually installing an out-of-pool
  kernel in the late_command phase.  However, the installer still
  returns:

  > !! ERROR: Cannot install kernel
  >
  > The installer cannot find a suitable kernel package to install.
  > [Press enter to continue]

  This should not be happening according to the documentation.
