That works fine.

Instead, I renamed debian-installer to debian-installer.real and front-ended it with my own debian-installer which tried to set some environment variables and then exec debian-installer.real.
Unfortunately, that came unstuck because environment variable names aren't allowed to contain slashes.
Is there another way to do this? Is there a document I should be reading?I suspect I could take old Q&A and poke them into place, but I also suspect that fails some time around the first time strings are unfrozen.
