Public bug reported:

Here: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/installation-guide/i386/preseed-
contents.html#preseed-base-installer is told that one should use:

d-i base-installer/kernel/linux/initramfs-generators string yaird

but yaird is no valid initramfs-generator for ubuntu. The installation
will abort with an error-message telling that no valid initramfs-
generator has been choosen. yaird is (or has been) used by debian. In
ubuntu we need initramfs-tools instead of yaird so the line should read:

d-i base-installer/kernel/linux/initramfs-generators string initramfs-
tools

This works perfectly.

The same error is in the provided example-preseedfile:
https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt and
should be fixed there as well.
