My original preseed included references for a modified local mirror of
Debian that the upper management did not authorize to make public the
URL yet.  In my defence the original preseed works with stretch and I
am trying to understand why it fails for buster.  So one more
question, during instalation of base and tasks, like openssh-server,
where is the sources.list that is being used.  It is not in
/target/etc/apt/sources.list
