Comments/Problems:
DHCP configuration lead to an error because the dhcp-client-udeb wasn't installed. I suspect this is related to #249355
Partman does not display filesystem types and mount points. #249485
Kernel did not install. Looking at console 3, it appeared as a file
system full problem. This seems related to a bad recipe for
"Multi-user system" in partman-auto. The root filesystem on a 1Gb hard
disk is 30Mb which is now too small for installing the kernel....
