[Bug 1229] unable to install thinclientserver

I have a theory on what set of events is triggering this bug. First of all,
one need to trigger the crash in d-i which happen after the ltsp installation.
This crash normally make debconf die and d-i to restart main-menu. This does not
happen when installing only the thin-client-server from dvd, because
debian-edu-preseed restarts the network in /target/ if the network isn't up already,
and this make dhclient3 start in /target/ with a file descriptor connected to debconf.
debconf is stuck waiting for data on this file descriptor, and fail to die when
main-menu die, and thus, the installer is stuck.
One fix for this if of course to fix the crash in main-menu/d-i. No idea how to
do that. Another is to make sure the network restart do not inherit any file
descriptors connecting to debconf. I'm trying to implement the latter.
