In the attached file you can see, what I tried. In this version the
chroot system already was configured using a preeseed file, which was
produced inside the chroot environment. This seems to work. Originally I
used the file outside the environment and could not convince tzdata
and/or debconf to accept the AREAS selection to be already seen and set
to Europe. As I can see the only distinction between the files is that
they are differently ordered.
Maybe It helps: I used live-helper to create the chroot environment as
it shall be a live system at the end.
I hope i's a little bit more clear now. It's too late here, now.
Good night.
