Ugh. Not again.

Given the time constraints for buster I think your approach to reverting
upstream's changes and re-applying our hack is probably the right way to
go. I'll try to put something together today for review and, hopefully,
so that you can test with if you don't mind.
I've also had a thought, and I can't remember if we've considered it
already: do the environment variables get preserved in /proc/1/environ,
even if busybox ash can't grok them? Could d-i be modified to pull them
from there?
Cheers,
Chris
