** Description changed:

  The security team, et al uses lp:ubuntu-qa-tools/vm-tools/uvt to create
  new VM images by using an ISO, then updating it with preseed information
  so we may perform unattended VM installs. Before ubiquity finishes
  installation, 11.10 amd64 (and possibly i386, but haven't verified yet)
  sometimes fails.
