Bug#845401: debian-installer: auto=true not working

[Andrey Yarkov <yaecp@mail.ru>]

Package: debian-installer
Severity: grave
Tags: d-i
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

I added the following to kernel parameters on Jessie-8.6.0 official installation DVD-1

    auto=true url=http://my.ip.addr.ess/preseed.cfg

but I got asked keyboard or locale related questions anyway.

Could it be that the delaying functionality got lost?
