Bug#600100: zipl's postinst hook fails upon initial kernel installation by d-i
Package: zipl
Version: 1.8.3-2
Severity: serious
The initial kernel installation through d-i fails with the current squeeze d-i
due to zipl's postinst failing. It obviously doesn't have a configuration file
yet, because it will be configured in the step after kernel installation:

That probably means that installation on s390 is currently broken, hence the
slightly inflated severity choice.
