First pass at 'customization-modules'



I've uploaded a tarball to 
http://home.twcny.rr.com/nerode/neroden/debian/customization-modules.tar.gz .

I think this should explain why I split net-retriever-core from net-retriever 
(#389430); it's sort of dumb, but net-retriever assumes in several places 
that it's downloading from an official Debian repository, and gets the name
of that repository from choose-mirror.  For our purposes, we want to be
able to download from an arbitrary repository.

Everything for customization-modules is done in a fairly blunt and direct 
manner.  I think the floppy option has the best chance of working out of the 
box.  I think the net option is pretty likely to work, except for the 
automatic use of a proxy.  I'm not so sure about the more complicated CD 
option, because of the unmounting and remounting.  I'm not at all sure whether 
I got the Depends: line right.

No testing has been done yet, because I'm still struggling with the installer 
image building process.  :/  So there may be stupid bugs.  Hopefully I'll 
manage to do testing soon.

In the meantime, anyone who wants to improve this, go for it.
