Public bug reported:

When installing Ubuntu-Server 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Alpha amd64
(20120828) over a network with this preseed value:

d-i live-installer/net-image string
http://10.153.104.60/rsync.cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/ubuntu-
server/daily/current/quantal-server-amd64/install/filesystem.squashfs

I eventually get this in the syslog of the system installing:

user.debug Aug 28 18:24:46 debconf: --> GET live-installer/net-image
user.debug Aug 28 18:24:46 debconf: <-- 0

In the console, it looks like the directory /tmp/live-installer doesn't
exist. So, when fetch-url attempts to wget into /tmp/live-
installer/filesystem.squashfs, the command just fails. Creating the
directory in the postinst script somewhere after delaring the directory
and calling fetch-url should do the trick, or fetch-url should be fixed
to create the target directory before calling wget.
