Ah, I see that Mathieu had already put this in our git:

  https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/partman-iscsi.git/log/?h=people/cyphermox/initiatorname

which I've just rebased and then tweaked to use a here document:

  https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/partman-iscsi.git/log/?h=pu/iscsi-initiator-prompt

Cheers, Phil.
