Apt Setup



I'm using simple-cdd to make a personal installation CD for Debian and
I'm having trouble with the apt setup part of the installation.

Here's what I have in my default.preseed :

###### Apt setup.

# automatically set the CD as the installation media.
#base-config apt-setup/uri_type  select http
base-config apt-setup/uri_type  select cdrom
# only scan the first CD by default
base-config apt-setup/cd/another  boolean false
# don't ask to use additional mirrors
base-config apt-setup/another boolean false

# Do enable security updates.
base-config apt-setup/security-updates  boolean false
base-config apt-setup/security-host string

# You can choose to install non-free and contrib software.
#base-config  apt-setup/non-free  boolean true
#base-config  apt-setup/contrib boolean true

As I understand it, this should automatically configure apt to use
the cdrom as source and nothing else. Yet, I get prompted both for
the apt mirror I want to use and I have to wait for the ping to
security.debian.org to timeout. What gives ?
