[Bug 1874287] Re: ubiquity must allow debconf database access when ubuntu-drivers executes apt-get install

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Currently prepare stage of ubiquity executes ubuntu-drivers install.

When doing so, it installs packages in the live system.

During that time debconf database is locked and inaccesisble, and nvidia
packages fail to install correctly. And possibly other dkms pacakges.

There are facilities to create overlay debconf database and use
passthrough protocol to ensure that installing packages and talking to
debconf works during that time.

Also one has to re-enable preconfigure of packages, such that config
scripts are run, cause ubiquity disables those at the momement.
