[Bug 1243375] [NEW] 13.10 Server installer doesn't load driver-injection-disk package by default

[Kent Baxley]

Public bug reported:

During the 13.10 cycle, some changes were made to the server installer
that (from what I understand) allow the driver-injection-disk udeb to be
loaded by default.  Before that, one had to pass such boot parameters
such as "anna/choose_modules=driver-injection-disk-detect" on the kernel
command line in order for any driver disks to get loaded up.   Also, the
user will be propmted to install the drivers once the disk is detected.

With the current 13.10 installer, it looks like I still have to pass the
"anna/choose_modules" parameter.  If I don't, my driver disk won't get
picked up automatically and I'm not prompted to install any drivers.

If I do supply that parameter, then I'm asked the question and my driver
packages get loaded up.

Here was the change that was put in:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/saucy/hw-detect
/saucy-proposed/revision/61

* Bump question to load driver injection disk from medium to high, and
  raise driver-injection-disk package priority to standard. Thus the
  udeb will be loaded by default, but before installing any debs from
  the OEMDRV a confirmation question will be asked (default true, can be
  pre-seeded)
