Hallo Frank, Frank Thommen <f.thommen@dkfz-heidelberg.de> (2016-09-01): > I'm currently setting up an unattended, PXE-based network installation of > Debian with preseeding.

Take a look at the preseed example file[1]? While it doesn't contain all preseedable settings, the part you're interested in seems covered: | ### Mirror settings | # If you select ftp, the mirror/country string does not need to be set. | #d-i mirror/protocol string ftp | d-i mirror/country string manual | d-i mirror/http/hostname string http.us.debian.org | d-i mirror/http/directory string /debian | d-i mirror/http/proxy string 1. https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/example-preseed.txt This is handled by choose-mirror, which runs way before apt-setup (which you were trying to configure). KiBi.
