[Bug 796486] [NEW] Examples don't match requirements

[Stanislaw Pitucha]

Public bug reported:

On the page about using preseed, the examples don't match required
syntax. Examples include:

auto url=http://192.168.1.2/path/to/mypreseed.file
auto url=example.com classes=class_A;class_B

Yet, lower there is the following requirement:

"The following aliases can be useful when using (auto mode) preseeding.
Note that these are simply short aliases for question names, and you
always need to specify a value as well: for example, auto=true or
interface=eth0."

I had a big issue trying to figure out why the preseed installation
didn't start, until I spotted this - yet I was following the examples
correctly. Same thing affects 10.10 and earlier docs.
