Done that the installation now goes to the end. The sources.list is still broken, with the same content has previously shown. The same rough preseed works as desired on stretch, minus the replacement of words stretch and buster. So maybe "d-i apt-setup/use_mirror boolean false" have a change in behaviour between stretch and buster. What I want in the end is a sources.list with the repositories from "d-i apt-setup/local[0-9]/repository ..." and not the original mirror from installation.
