Well, actually it is completed, at least in the sense that ticket #112 could
be marked as completed (but untested). Both kickstart_finder and
set_variance methods are already patched to supply a sensible debian
preseed (instead of a ks file) in case no kickstart file is specified
on command line.
What is missing is not actually related to import, but to create proper pxe
boot entries (debian does not understand ks=...), and allow the usage of
templates for preseed files.
As the kicstart/preseed might be considered "optional" features, I think it is
better to focus now in managing the debian repo to keep packages updated.
As I mentioned earlier, setting the breed makes sure the kernel
arguments are correct automatically. It needs to do this and is already
supported.
Fix this and I'll see about applying it.
