[Bug 1759329] [NEW] bionic netboot installer fails with local repository

[Jay McCanta]

Public bug reported:

preseed file with local repositoryw fails when package from repo is
trying to be installed.

Bionic preseed file with:
d-i apt-setup/local0/repository string deb http://example.com/PatchSet/latest/willu bionic main
d-i apt-setup/local0/comment string This is the stuff
d-i apt-setup/local0/key string http://dists.example.com/PatchSet/latest/f5-ubuntu/willu.pubkey

This paragraph works in Precise, Trusty, and Xenial.

Watching /target/etc/apt/source.lists, I see it's created correctly,
then at some point after the base install, the file gets overwritten and
the entry for the local repo(s) are commented out.

** Affects: console-setup (Ubuntu)
