Ok, still it seems fixable by removing recipes-alpha/multi_user

I'd rather have some continuing, manageable pain maintaining d-i in
sarge while being able to test new stuff in unstable than a massive pain
trying to get a d-i tree that has been under development for N months,
without continuing user testing, to work again after the release.
