* 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, powerpc) 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.
  - Force xgettext to use UTF-8 encoding when generating templates files,
    to cope with Côte d'Ivoire.
  - Only default mirror/country to the value of debian-installer/country
    if the latter has any mirrors; otherwise, fall through to defaulting
    to GB.
  - Exclude all-countries mirrors such as ports.ubuntu.com when
    determining whether there is a mirror in the country specified in
    debian-installer/country.
  - If the selected country has no mirror (excluding all-countries
    mirrors), then fall back to the default.
