Comments/Problems:

I selected to install in Expert mode and then selected to install the
unstable flavour of Debian. Everything worked fine up until Install base
system, I selected normal but live was loaded anyway. Made it impossible
to install. The syslog indicates that live-installer was selected but
this was not the case.

The expected result would be that selecting normal actually loaded
normal.

AFAIK the live-installer udeb should not be loaded at all and that 
question should never even be asked. So the problem is not that an 
incorrect action is taken, but that live-installer udeb is loaded in the 
first place.
Your interpretation of meaning of the question is incorrect as well, but 
that is understandable given that it was presented out of context.

As you say "build from SVN" I suspect you were using a custom built image 
that includes some udeb that depends on base-installer. In that case the 
build process can include live-installer _instead_ of bootstrap-base in 
your initrd. Basically in such cases you need to add bootstap-base to 
your custom/modified pkg-lists too to ensure correct behavior.

Closing based on the assumption that my analysis above is correct. If not, 
feel free to reopen.

Cheers,
FJP

P.S. The term "daily build from SVN"is very confusing. Please use "daily 
build/image" only for images linked as "daily builds" from the D-I 
homepage, and "custom build/image" for anything you build yourself.
