[Bug 1001460] [NEW] preinst fails in d-i

[Robie Basak]

Public bug reported:

A Quantal netinst failed with "Failure while unpacking required
packages.  This will be attempted up to five times.". As (I presume)
this is priority critical, it breaks my automated installation.

Note: I'm using a custom ARM machine, and I hacked d-i to get this far.
But Steve thought this could be a general Ubuntu bug so asked me to
report it :)
