Public bug reported:

During a test install of Bionic it appears that the debian-installer
/main-menu option changes priority from medium to critical part way
through the test:

Dec  6 04:19:54 debconf: --> SET debian-installer/main-menu Install the system

Dec  6 04:19:54 debconf: --> INPUT critical debian-installer/main-menu

Working test on Dec 1:

Failing test on Dec 6:

Steps to reproduce:
1. Get latest ISO from: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/pending/

2. Pull out the kernel and initrd
$ mkdir iso
$ bsdtar xfp bionic-server-amd64.iso -C iso
$ cp iso/install/vmlinuz .
$ cp iso/install/initrd.gz .

3. Create QEMU disk
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 vdisk.img 4G

4. Launch ISO via QEMU
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu host -m 1024 -boot d \
    -initrd initrd.gz -kernel vmlinuz -display none -nographic \
    -hda vdisk.img -cdrom bionic-server-amd64.iso \
    -append 'console=ttyS0 locale=en_US.UTF-8 priority=critical'

5. Proceed with the install by 1) enter user info and 2) select disk

6. Eventually the "Ubuntu installer main menu" will appear. Even if you
click on "Install the system" the installation step will fail.
