[Bug 1761030] [NEW] bionic 20101020ubuntu535: netboot installer fails with local repository

[Jay McCanta]

Public bug reported:

Using a preseed file with network boot 20101020ubuntu535 , the apt
sources configuration is built correctly.

Preseed:
d-i apt-setup/local0/repository string deb http://example.com/PatchSet/latest/homegrown bionic main
d-i apt-setup/local0/comment string This is the homegrown-custom stuff
d-i apt-setup/local0/key string http://example.com/PatchSet/latest/homegrown/gpgkey.pub


yields a sources.list file with

deb http://example.com/PatchSet/latest/homegrown bionic main

However, after 'Configure APT', the file is modified and the correct
line is commented out. The installer then fails when trying to install
packages from that repository.

Only workaround that seems to work is moving the installation of the
pacakges to late_command and have it configure apt sources manually.
