Hi,

Just a FYI to the list that if you want to keep the changes to
/etc/network/interfaces that come in the
$SNIPPET/post_install_network_config_deb then you will need to make sure
your preseed_late_default line has a extra step of copying the outside
of the chroot.  There was a post on the debian list[2] two years and a
bug[1] that has gone basically ignored.

Eg something like,

d-i preseed/late_command string \
    in-target wget
http://$http_server/cblr/svc/op/script/$what/$name/?script=preseed_late_default
-O /tmp/postinst.sh; \
    in-target /bin/chmod 755 /tmp/postinst.sh; \
    in-target /tmp/postinst.sh; \
    cp /target/etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces;
