Correct URLs pointing to example-preseed.txt (LP: #135502).

* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - Build only English (for now, until we figure out how to avoid trashing
    translations quite so badly with Ubuntu branding etc.).
  - Build only Ubuntu architectures (amd64, hppa, i386, ia64, powerpc,
    sparc).
  - Extensive (although possibly incomplete) Ubuntu branding, adjustments
    for our mirror layout, etc.
  - Add "Ubuntu and Debian" and "What is Ubuntu?" section, text borrowed
    from the Ubuntu web site. Disable the "What is Debian GNU/Linux?"
    section.
  - Direct installation reports to ubuntu-users for now.
  - Adjust various memory and disk space requirements. Talk about the
    default Ubuntu desktop and Ubuntu tasks rather than Debian tasks.
  - Document mounting /sys in various places.
  - Unset supports-floppy-boot for all our architectures.
  - Add a few more supports-floppy-boot and bootable-usb conditionals.
  - Document our root password and sudo arrangements.
  - Document netboot-style USB images. Still mention the hd-media images,
    but they're downplayed since many USB sticks are too small for a full
    Ubuntu ISO image.
  - Document Kickstart installations (currently only the basics, a
    reference to Red Hat's documentation, and the differences from
    Anaconda).
  - Note that an empty preseed file is equivalent to a normal manual
    installation.
  - Rename doc-base.TEMPLATE to TEMPLATE.doc-base.
  - Update keyboard preseeding documentation for console-setup.
  - Update chroot-install guide for console-setup and language packs; add
    a bit more advice about installing grub.
  - Remove text talking about devfs-style device names, which are no
    longer supported.
  - Fix links to web copies of installation manual and example preseed
    file.
* Bump kernelversion to 2.6.22.
* Bump x11ver to 7.3.
* Bump GNOME version to 2.20.
* Bump release version and names for Gutsy (LP: #119177).
* Refer to the standard task rather than ubuntu-standard.
* Disable documentation of the GTK frontend.
* Remove latex-hangul-ucs-hlatex build-dependency, as we don't build for
  Korean.

* build/buildweb.sh, build/entities/urls.ent,
  en/preparing/needed-info.xml: Fix links to web copies of installation
  manual (LP: #53691) and example preseed file (LP: #78711).

* Various fixes to chroot-install guide (see Malone #64765):

    Architecture: all now (backported from trunk).
  - Reconfigure console-setup, not console-data.
  - Point to language packs rather than suggesting reconfiguring locales.
  - Add a bit more advice about installing grub.
