I'm guessing that this was also the reason that when I tried 
preseed/url=http://server.sinenomine.net/debian on Friday, it didn't 
actually work, and I still had to manually choose my mirror?  I had 
assumed it was something I was doing wrong with how preseeding needed 
to work.

*Is* the correct behavior that, once I've entered my network 
information, the preseeding should take over and use the mirror I 
specified?
