Bug#266758: Package: choose-mirror

[Josh Logan <josh@wcug.wwu.edu>]

Package: choose-mirror
Severity: wishlist

When booting with boot params it is not possible to have it automatically
select the right mirror that is passed on the append line.

It fills in the right information, but "enter information manually" is not
parsed because of the spaces.  I'm also not sure if the option is
mirror/http/countries or mirror/country.  A list of these options on the
wiki would be really nice.

One thing to note.  All of these options take a lot of characters.  I was
not able to have everything in the append line because of running out of
space with 256 characters.  If you want to use a serial console as well it
is too long.
