Depends on what exactly you want, but if all you're after is a hard coded version, you can add something like: # untested late_commands: set_maas_in_guest: curtin in-target -- sh -c "/bin/echo 1.5.blahblahblah > /etc/installed-with-maas" in the maas region controller's /etc/maas/preseeds/curtin_userdata. \t > The reason is that for certification, we record the version of MAAS > used to deploy the SUT.
