Hello! Hope you don't mind, I took some time to dig into d-i internals, getting used with the code and the build system.
I took a look at bug #610752 [0] and made a first attempt of a patch. I posted the git diff on pastebin [1], since I wanted to be sure it is ok before submitting it. Please tell me if this was the right thing to do. Firstly, I am not very sure about debconf_go return value. I assumed it returns 0 if everything is ok, based on the way it is used in other functions, such as netcfg_get_domain (netcfg-common.c), but I have not found anything explicitly saying so. Secondly, in the bug report it was suggested to remove NETCFG_LINK_WAIT_TIME, but I considered it could be used for setting a default value, since I believe getting timeout value has a low priority and there wouldn't be necessary to loop until a correct value is provided. In addition, could you please tell me what exactly does installation manual appendix updating implies? Furthermore, is it a good idea to keep a personal git repository containing netcfg sources with my changes? At the moment I have a local one, but I would like to host it on github, since I believe that way everything would be transparent but only relevant changes will be added as patches (or in any other way).
