* Set mirror/suite Default to maverick (LP: #656037).
* Accept a mirror/suite default even if the base system is on the CD
  (workaround for maverick).

Fix mismerge of Ubuntu-specific change to skip mirror validation if the
base system is installable and we're installing from a mirror in the
masterlist. With the reorganisation of suite validation in 2.30,
exiting early meant that the proxy question never got asked. Instead,
modify get_release and check_arch to return early in this case, but
otherwise keep going (LP: #613550).

* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - Use Ubuntu mirrors.
  - Ubuntu branding.
  - Set default country to GB.
  - Never ask mirror/suite, mark it untranslatable, and give it
    appropriate choices for Ubuntu.
  - Pick CC.archive.ubuntu.com (for the country selected in the installer)
    as the default mirror. For ports architectures (armel, ia64, powerpc,
    sparc) use ports.ubuntu.com instead.
  - Drop the priorities of the country/mirror questions to medium if we're
    installing from a CD that includes the base system.
  - Support setting OVERRIDE_BASE_INSTALLABLE in the environment to force
    choose-mirror to assume that the base system is installable.
  - Skip mirror validation if the base system is installable and we're
    installing from a mirror in the masterlist.
  - Don't check if archive.ubuntu.com is reachable before asking for a
    proxy.
  - Allow preseeding the default CC.archive.ubuntu.com setup by preseeding
    mirror/http/mirror to CC.archive.ubuntu.com, and likewise for
    mirror/ftp/mirror.
* Drop lpia support, as lpia was EOL in Lucid.
* Switch to maverick by default. Drop all old suites from the list of
  suite choices; for better or worse, we've never really supported
  installing older suites with a newer installer.
* Force xgettext to use UTF-8 encoding when generating templates files, to
  cope with Côte d'Ivoire.
