[Bug 1381703] [NEW] preseed with unqualified host:port fails - upstream bug fixed

[dberger]

Public bug reported:

This (fixed) Debian bug : https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=695908 affects 12.04.5 (preseed-1.50ubuntu1)

If you're (for example) using multi-site puppet to deploy hosts, and
want the pxe clients to fetch their preseed from their "domain local"
puppet install, you might say they should preseed from http://puppet:80
- unfortunately, when the host boots it attempts to fetch
puppet:80.domain.dom

(In theory removing the port would "fix" this, unfortunately foreman
likes to make sure there's a port in the preseed url, so that's not
trivial either).

** Affects: preseed (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Package changed: netcfg (Ubuntu) => preseed (Ubuntu)
