Bug Description

Binary package hint: debian-installer

When testing a network installation of Ubuntu, the packages are always retrieved from repositories such as -main for example. However, it would be useful to pass a special boot option in order to retrieve from -proposed. This would make it possible to test the network installation before packages are moved from -proposed to -updates.

I've committed all the necessary changes (subject to testing), but there's no rush to upload them before Hardy Alpha 4, so we'll upload them at a more convenient time.

The interface, incidentally, will be to pass 'apt-setup/proposed=true' on the kernel command line.

---------------
apt-setup (1:0.31ubuntu3) hardy; urgency=low

  * Add apt-setup/proposed question (never asked); if preseeded to true,
    -proposed entries will be added to sources.list (LP: #181776).
  * Pre-populate apt's lists directory with signed Release files for
    archive.ubuntu.com (and mirrors) and security.ubuntu.com, to protect
    against downgrade attacks right from initial installation.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * If apt-setup/proposed is true, set up the default sources.list to look
    in -proposed as well (LP: #181776).
  * If base-installer/use_unclean_target is asked, emit a warning to the
    logs so that we know about it when diagnosing problems.

  [ Soren Hansen ]
  * Add support for AMD CPU family 16 on i386 (LP: #187869).
