Regarding this commit: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/preseed.git/commit/?id=f2e7bae02caec5a66e25d5af7aab90eb7648deca Please would you explain what you were trying to do here, as I don't think you understood the intent behind the original code or perhaps what the bug was really about. The reason I say that is that your attempted fix completely mangles the logic of the if statement. The &&'s after the db_get's are about checking that the setting is set, you cannot invert those and get a useful result. I'm now unsure how to fix this without reintroducing this bug. One could restore the if statement, with an empty then, but I think that the real bug is that we don't have a test for the DHCP provided preseed, so the real fix would be to add such a test to the if as it was before.
