[Bug 1245531] [NEW] Ubiquity does not respect preseed 'file=' parameter

[Noorez]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 13.10 amd64 (Also occurs on Kubuntu/Lubuntu)

I attempt to start an automatic installation by passing in boot
parameters:

automatic-ubiquity file=/path/to/custom/preseed.cfg  debian-
installer/locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=us
keyboard-configuration/variantcode=

However, the installer starts in the normal manual mode.  The automatic
installer launches as expected when using the parameter debian-installer
/custom-installation=/path/to/custom-install/ where  custom-install/
contains the preseed file.
