I'm uncertian of what the benefits of doing this are, at least for
Debian. After the install, the dpkg status will only be changed if the
user changes it (no base-config anymore), and any status changes will be
logged in dpkg.log. So I don't understand how initial-status.gz could be
useful for d-i debugging.

/var/backup/dpkg.status.0 seems like a better place to put it if there's
some reason to backup the post-d-i status.
