Yes, I just found the same. Even just removing the very last newline in 
the status file fixes it.

(My first hunch was that it could be that main-menu was the last udeb that 
still depended on libc6 instead of libc6-udeb and that that somehow 
affected the builds, but that theory went overboard as your grep shows 
there are other udebs included in the initrd that still depend on libc6.)

I also see that the screen is not just wiped once, but in an endless loop. 
This indicates that the frontend is crashing. Given that changing the 
status file fixes things, I suspect main-menu is crashing (and not for 
example cdebconf).

In that case the possible culprits are either main-menu or libd-i. Looking 
at the changelog of the latter, that would be my first suspect. I'm going 
to build an image with r55491 reverted to see if that fixes things.

Cheers,
FJP
