Thanks for documenting.
I'm guessing this would fail to install on machines with 32-bit uefi, like
T100TA.
Ubuntu fails to install on those too, but debian-multiarch installer works.

Just for completeness, here is the last piece of my puzzle:
Although my changes had the BIOS installer working correctly, the EFI
installer would fail to install grub. What I was needing was to create
grub.list.binary in config/package-lists:
grub-pc-bin
grub-efi-amd64-bin
grub-efi-amd64
With a
I *think* I've figured it out. I had some grub packages manually specified
in my config/package-lists, and I just needed to let the installer handle
it itself. It appears to go through the installer correctly now, although I
am being prompted for some things that I expected to have auto-populated
I'm getting closer to it, I've trimmed the following (what I think is

Continuing my attempts using my slimmed-down example (
https://github.com/mmguero/deblive_blank) I am now getting the BIOS
installer to use my preseed correctly, and get through the "copying data to
disk" phase. Now debian-installer keeps exiting and being restarted. The
error I see is:
Continuing my debugging (and posting here in case the record of this helps
someone in the future).
The installer under BIOS is now trying to execute my preseed, by adding
this to my build script prior to running:
mkdir -p ./config/includes.installer
cp -v ./config/includes.binary/install/*
I have an installer that works correctly when booting EFI but not BIOS.
I've seen several examples that show stuff like this:
