Comment(by jdreed):
> Perhaps part of the latter is getting the preinstall PXE stuff to also
use Debconf
I'll note there's comments from amb in the stage2 that say:
`# Using debconf here will hang, so parse the command line manually.`
We run stage2 as an include_command, not an early_command, and that's
possibly relevant. Now that the mass upgrade is done, we could maybe
switch to early_command for stage2, since we pass the netcfg options
manually now and in theory you should never get to stage2 without valid
networking (statically from the passed parameters, or DHCP from being
registered).
