Check for LTS in the release name (LP: #558488).

Unbreak early command from previous commit.

Only bring the network up while running preseed/early_command if
preseed/allow-network=true.

848. By Colin Watson on 2010-04-12

* Bring the network up while running preseed/early_command.
* Fix use of debconf passthrough frontend; DEBCONF_READFD and
  DEBCONF_WRITEFD were backwards, and DEBIAN_HAS_FRONTEND and
  DEBCONF_REDIR needed to be unset or else confmodule scripts would end up
  trying to talk to closed file descriptors.
* Run debconf-communicate with a read-only template database and separate
  config databases, and copy any changed values back to the master
  databases at the end. This allows us to use the noninteractive frontend
  rather than passthrough when running apt-get in preseed/early_command or
  dpkg to install driver updates, thereby ensuring that the template
  database is properly initialised (LP: #557011).

bump compcache size to 50% on live images for machines with less than
512MiB. This makes sure we don't hit OOM errors on systems with only
256MiB of RAM.

846. By Luke Yelavich on 2010-04-09

[ Jonathan Riddell ]
* Remove 37kubuntu_netbook_installer_link, now done with a patch in
  kdebase-workspace

[ Colin Watson ]
* If copying live media to RAM or disk, explicitly copy .disk, since *
  won't expand to include it (LP: #526305).
* Cache /bin/plymouth and /sbin/usplash_write before ejecting the CD, in
  the hope that that helps with I/O errors on reboot (see LP #539027).

[ Luke Yelavich ]
* ubiquity-hooks/30accessibility: Copy the orca settings directory to the
  gdm home directory, to allow for preferred orca settings to be used in
  gdm (LP: #551515).

845. By Colin Watson on 2010-03-30

* Don't save the hardware clock on live CD reboot; we used to do this in
  the sysvinit world, but it regressed when we switched to Upstart
  (thanks, Norm Pierce; LP: #436535).
* When running update-initramfs on writable media, update initrd.lz rather
  than initrd.gz if it's present, and make the update process a bit safer
  while we're there (LP: #489736).
* Handle toram and todisk=DEVICE options on command line (LP: #526305).
* Policy version 3.8.4: no changes required.
* Convert to source format 3.0 (native).

844. By Evan on 2010-03-23

[ Jonathan Riddell ]
* Update scripts/casper-bottom/34disable_kde_services for lucid

[ Evan Dandrea ]
* Don't let apt try to auto-detect the CD-ROM device using udev. We
  already know what it is, and using udev to find it again wont work
  for USB disks.

Update for the new libplymouth2.

842. By Steve Langasek on 2010-03-12

* casper-md5check: port from usplash to plymouth. LP: #500198
* fix up our reliance on usplash, /dev/console elsewhere. LP: #506418.
