I could now test regular images. And they both (debian-40r1 and
ubuntu-7.10 alternate) work as expected.

Ideed, it is:

Well, here's the reason why postinst returns error code 30. According to
debconf-devel(7), error code 30 from "dh_input high netcfg/get_hostname"
means that debconf will not present the question to the user. There's no
reason to present the question, because it is preseeded and the answer is
already known. But there's no explicit exit in the postinst, so why does
postinst exit here? Is confmodule terminating the postinst script?
