Could I have full preseeding information for your system? Simply
preseeding debian-installer/locale to C causes debian-installer/country
to still be asked; that may be a bug in itself, but nevertheless the
answer to that question would be quite relevant to this bug.

Unfortunately my Internet connection recently dropped to 192kbps due to
a fault; that should be resolved soon, but in the meantime I'm having
trouble reproducing this directly, so if you have a
DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer log of this behaviour then that would very much
speed up a fix. Thanks!

Business justification:
Dell would like to standardize preseed file by using generics
provided by installer to have the correct behavior. Dell will use work around
suggested by Colin in comment #1 for 10.04.
@Colin
Thanks for looking into this.

Also to add the expectation is to get this resolved in 10.10 . So
remains a priority.

Given enough information (or time to reproduce this myself), I'd
actually still like to get this resolved for 10.04 if I can.

Hi Colin:
Currently debian-installer/country is not preseeded to anything.
Preseeding it to US causes us.archive.ubuntu.com to be selected (which
is closer to more preferable, but still as these machines won't be
necessarily in the US, the more generic archive.ubuntu.com should be
selected).
I'm
Ah, silly me, I was testing using a netboot image rather than desktop,
which was why I was seeing the mandatory country question. Thanks for
the debug log.
What's happening here is that the country question is being asked, but
isn't preseeded, so it winds up defaulting to the first in
Actually, thinking about it, that's a daft way to go about it given the
time constraints. I'll just special-case the C locale in choose-mirror
at least for the moment; simple, quick, and unlikely to break anything
else.

Jerone, can you explain why this is an OEM priority? I agree that it is
a bug, but the workaround should be trivial:
d-i mirror/http/mirror select archive.ubuntu.com
I'd rather spend time on bugs without a straightforward workaround.

If adding that in actually did the trick, I'd agree it doesn't need to
be a priority item, but I've tried with that preseed as well as trying
d-i apt-setup/use_mirror boolean true or d-i apt-setup/use_mirror
boolean false and still dz.archive.ubuntu.com is getting selected.

Hmm. OK. Shouldn't be too hard to fix then ...
