doh. debian-multimedia. Ahem.

What about *not* having these lines? Does D-I end properly?

What does happen if, instead of adding these repos through preseeding,
you add them manually by using D-I in expert mode?

It's unclear whether we reach 60local after 50mirror (apparently
not). Could you set 50mirror to debug mode by adding "-x" at the end
of its first line?

You can do this by editing /usr/lib/apt-setup/generators/50mirror from
console 2 when in D-I.
