Hi James and Andrew,
Thanks for your two's follow-up. Looks like it's probably a good idea to file a bug report upstream to Ubuntu to Debian's Installation Team? Personally, I think what Ubuntu has done qualifies as a "bug".

Yes. I got that one too!

Gentlemen, please give me a few days. I still have a couple of ideas
to try out before we give up on Ubuntu 12.10 and later completely. I
have a couple of other ideas to try out. Will report back to the list.
Regards and have a great weekend,
