So would we all. Bug #276001 is the best approach at it I've seen, but
will only work if the installation media is changed to include a preseed

This is bug #240711. Note that you can set http proxy values.

See #260801; note they are removed later if X is not installed.

/var/log/base-config.log

Not familiar with these.
