I think someone reported that there were images from last year which
worked -- I think at this stage installing by fair means or foul in
order to have a dev & test environment would be advantageous.

I think Julian has proved that it is cdebcof-get which is the issue.
I'd recommend grabbing cdebconf from the d-i svn repo and building a few
test versions at various points between 0.145 and 0.146. Just running
cdebconf-get from the built source tree may prove informative.
