Hi,

and thanks for your report.

Bart-Jan Vrielink <bartjan@vrielink.net> (2016-11-22):

I think Philip fixed it in git, and it should be uploaded soon (we
detected a few bits that needed a fix before an upload):
| commit 1150b87454baf6eb6ac6d4a55294e7d9ffe893e2
| Author: Philip Hands <phil@hands.com>
| Date:   Tue Nov 1 08:37:30 2016 +0100

|     update auto-install/defaultroot for stretch

See: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/preseed.git/commit/?id=1150b87454baf6eb6ac6d4a55294e7d9ffe893e2

So I'm tagging this bug report accordingly, and cc-ing Philip for
confirmation.
