When you use an ISO image stored on a disk, it makes it impossible to
re-use that disk in the installation process (e.g. for automatic
partitioning).

In order to avoid this limitation, I would like iso-scan to be able
to copy the ISO image into RAM and to mount it from there. The attached
patch implements precisely when the debconf question "iso-scan/copy_iso_to_ram"
returns true.

It would be nice to see this merged (the patch applies cleanly on top
of the one in #868859, but you can also merge it separately if you drop
the changelog entry).

Let me know if there's anything to improve before it's ready to be merged
(notably on the debconf template, etc.).

Installation guide update ?
