Comments/Problems:
  One small issue. The installation is preseeded from the old environment on
  flash, that is the configuration in the config partition of the original
  thecus firmware. This makes sense for the initial install, but less so when
  doing a reinstallation.  In this case the old firmware was installed with a
  static ip, which didn't make any sense at all in the network i was installing
  in.

  The big issue was that i couldn't configure a custom mirror or even select a
  country mirror. After some debugging it turned out that the newt frontend
  immediately returned backup instead of actually showing the UI bits. The
  relevant debconf debugging output is:

  Jun 28 16:38:30 debconf: --> GET mirror/country
  Jun 28 16:38:30 debconf: <-- 0 manual
  Jun 28 16:38:30 debconf: --> INPUT critical mirror/http/hostname
  Jun 28 16:38:30 debconf: <-- 0 question will be asked
  Jun 28 16:38:30 debconf: --> INPUT critical mirror/http/directory
  Jun 28 16:38:30 debconf: <-- 0 question will be asked
  Jun 28 16:38:30 debconf: --> GO
  Jun 28 16:38:30 debconf: <-- 30 backup

  Using the text frontend instead of the newt frontend let me finish the
  installation just fine.
