Right. The problem seems to be that apt-cdrom-setup is not loaded at all,
even though this is a CD-based installation. Result of that is that a
template that should be available does not exist.
My guess is that this is a bug in anna due to fact that you are installing
in lowmem. As apt-cdrom-setup is requested through "anna-install" in
cdrom-detect, it definitely should be getting installed.
As they have been truncated (due to lowmem) I cannot verify this from your
logs, but I'll try to reproduce this.

os-prober _does_ find another OS and a pre-existing grub installation:
Jun 28 10:32:54 90linux-distro: result: /dev/hda1:Debian GNU/Linux
(lenny/sid):Debian:linux
And thus it asks...
