Title:
  bionic 20101020ubuntu535: netboot installer fails with local
  repository

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
