The same issue exists with other debconf items, e.g.:
- base-installer/kernel/altmeta in
base-installer/debian/bootstrap-base.templates -> merge request
<https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/base-installer/-/merge_requests/14>
- iso-scan/filename in iso-scan/debian/iso-scan.templates but AFAICS it
is not intended to be preseeded, so I guess it does not matter.
- netcfg/dhcp_ntp_servers in netcfg/debian/netcfg-dhcp.templates but
AFAICS it not intended to be preseeded either. Note: it is read by
clock-setup but not set by netcfg any more since commit fac74c749 ("Deal
with stateless DHCPv6"). Is this intended ?
