Public bug reported:

Add to page https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/amd64/boot-parms.html#installer-args, under
Title: Using boot parameters to answer questions
....Some specific examples are listed below.
....

Additional example to add:
apt-setup/restricted=false apt-setup/multiverse=false

This is equivalent to enabling the "Free Software Only" boot mode.  This
will disable the restricted and multiverse repositories at the earliest
stages of the debian installer.  This can be helpful if you don't need
them at all or don't mirror those repositories at your local mirror.
