Hmmm. And it's also important to distinguish between debian-installer.d and
debian-installer-startup.d correctly.
debian-installer-startup.d: executed once when D-I boots
debian-installer.d: executed after d-i-startup.d and respawned if the
debconf frontend should crash
So IIUC having it here means we run the risk of starting multiple servers.
It seems to me that this should maybe go in debian-installer-startup.d, but
that may require more changes in order to determine the frontend to be
used early enough.
Another solution could be to check if the server is already running and
only start it if not. That could provide a restart of the X server if
*that* crashes.
Cheers,
FJP
