Title:
  'Download updates while installing Ubuntu' install option doesn't work

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I have installed Ubuntu 17.10 (amd64) several times now and I have
  noticed it retains an issue that has been present in the Ubuntu
  installer (I forget its name) for several years, if not since the
  inception of the current installer so my apologies for only just
  reporting this.

  If you install Ubuntu on a computer that has an active ethernet
  internet connection and you choose the 'Download updates while
  installing Ubuntu' option, this doesn't happen. Instead, the Ubuntu
  software updater usually finds several packages that require updating
  upon first boot which means choosing 'Download updates while
  installing Ubuntu' doesn't work.

  If this can't be made to work so that no further updates are required
  on first boot then this option should be removed from the 18.04
  installer because it doesn't do what it claims.
