[patch] preseed appendix of d-i manual: use_autoconfig



Hi,

For some years the disable_autoconfig preseed has been shown
in the appendix on preseeding. However setting that just sets
use_autoconfig appropriately. Yet use_autoconfig is not even
mentioned in the appendix, ever.

There might be something I'm missing here, such as disable_autoconfig
is the only thing that works if you pass it on the boot command line.
I might also be misinterpreting 'manual configuration' as 'static'.

If not, is it time to start deprecating use of disable_auotconfig?
I realise it was needed in the past but the code has been fixed.
