I investigated the new installation failure for Debian Edu/Wheezy
reported in
<URL: http://jenkins.debian.net/job/cd-test_debian_edu_wheezy/ >, and
discovered the reason why the popcon question preseeding did not work.
The preseed file is preseeding the wrong debconf template. The one
being shown is the one in debian-edu-install, which is copied from
popularity-contest to ensure all questions show up before packages are
downloaded.
The following patch can be used to get the installation going.

Happy hacking

great, thanks for your patch, applied. Plus then I moved this to the back of
the preseed file, to the edu specific configurations and added this note:
+# the popcon question needs special preseeding as the template
+# being shown is the one in debian-edu-install, which is copied from
+# popularity-contest to ensure all questions show up before packages are
+# downloaded.
Will schedule a new test shortly.
cheers,
Holger
