Hello,
I am no developer and I admit I do not know the very internals of the
d-i system, but you can have a look at the attached patch.
This checks if mirror/suite was already set and does not set the value
in such a case in choose-mirror.postinst.
I have also modified the choose-mirror.c file to skip setting of
mirror/codename if it was already set. I think this is a good idea - if
someone has explicitly set miror/codename in preseed, then he would
better know what he was doing. Otherwise the codename is assessed as per
the original method.
I will try to test this in my environment.
Best regards,
Boleslaw Tokarski
