IMHO that behavior is correct. The ubuntu template uses debootstrap, so whatever you're seing is debootstrap's response. I suggest you use the download template instead (-t download), which would basically get a tar file with preconfigured packages. It would help if your problem was on 'creating new connection phase' (which sometimes would happen if say ... your ISP employs a transparent http cache) or 'partial inconsistent mirror' (since you'd only be getting a few files), plus it'd be much faster (no need for package install and configure phase after download) -- Fajar
