Comment 2 for bug 557011

I'm working on this at the moment. I've committed a fix for some
incorrect debconf/apt integration in casper, but I'm still trying to
deal with the core issue, which has involved some experimentation. The
basic problem is that debconf doesn't really do passthrough of template
loading, only of individual templates as needed - but fixing that would
be much too intrusive for Lucid, so I plan to work around it by careful
database juggling in casper instead. This is proving a little
time-consuming, as anything that involves live CD remastering as part of
the test cycle usually does, but I'm making good progress and should be
finished within a day.
