[Bug 1582256] [NEW] repo as shown in tests/simple.ks stops install

[Marco Schmidt]

Public bug reported:

It is hard to decide for me if this is the correct place for this "bug",
but as it took some ours of testing, I thought it's worth to put this
information somewhere.

In tests/simple.ks there are some lines starting with "repo", which I tried to use in my config. 
The lines do not work like this. In the option "baseurl" the "deb" is missing. 

The repo.sh preseeds "apt-setup", BUT also "base-installer" !

In "apt-setup" the "deb" is cut of and added again before it is written
to sources.list. This is documented in the "changelog" in an entry from
2008.

BUT in "base-installer", which runs before "apt-setup" and installs the
base system, writes the "baseurl" directly as is to the "sources.list".
Which obviously only works if the "deb" is not missing. Search for
"local0" in "library.sh" of "base-installer".

Without the "deb" an error shows up, that it can not get the kernel package. 
base-installer: error: exiting on error base-installer/kernel/no-kernels-found

Maybe it is easiest way to add the "deb" in the "tests/simple.ks",
because this is somehow the docu of kickseed.

Thanks to all, for taking care of kickseed!!
