Can someone confirm when 'preseed/run' is executed?
In other words, what is the best way to download and execute a script at
the end of the install process.

Actually I was more hoping for an equivalent of 'preseed/run' to the
'preseed/late_command'.
The late_command will not per default download the *.sh file.
The preseed/run part is documented in chapter B.5.3 "Chainloading of
preconfiguration files":
https://d-i.debian.org/manual/en.amd64/apbs05.html
So I guess this not a functionality to be executed at the end of
installation, it only makes sense somewhere at the beginning.
Thank you for this,
I guess you are refering to:
"
# Most flexibly of all, this downloads a program and runs it. The program
# can use commands such as debconf-set to manipulate the debconf database.
# More than one script can be listed, separated by spaces.
# Note that if the filenames are relative, they are taken from the same
# directory as the preconfiguration file that runs them.
#d-i preseed/run string foo.sh"
In the description text, to me at least, it is not clear at what stage
this command is executed!!! :)
Having played a bit more, I can confirm that this command is not
executed at the end of the installation process.
While I was looking to understand what was going on, I came across (1)
and this is where Ubuntu differs from Debian:
"on a web server. In this example, if the preseed file sets preseed/run
to /scripts/late_command.sh then the file will be fetched from
http://autoserver.example.com/d-i/focal/./scripts/late_command.sh.";
I would love to see a rewording of the above text which would clearly
state at what time the command is executed!!! :)
I realy appreciate your help.
