Hi, perhaps something like the following in [1] could be a fix:
diff --git a/env2debconf b/env2debconf index 3032235..80394a4 100755 --- a/env2debconf +++ b/env2debconf @@ -3,6 +3,12 @@ set -e export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=none . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule + +if [ "$(hostname)" != '(none)' ]; then + # the hostname has been set as boot param, bring it back here + hostname="$(hostname)" +fi + I am not familiar with the code, but from checking the installer console right at the beginning of the installation, this could work.
