Public bug reported:

Starting a ppc64el install in a VM yields an install that isn't
preseeded, and only includes the standard task:

 |        linux        /install/vmlinux tasks=standard pkgsel/language-pack-p\|
 |atterns= pkgsel/install-language-support=false --- quiet                    |
 |        initrd        /install/initrd.gz     

This appears to be because on ppc64el, we only configure yaboot --
systems booting the CD with grub (such as ppc64el qemu VMs, but probably
hardware too) get a system that doesn't include the usualy ubuntu-server
seed: not disabling splash and quiet, forcing the server task, etc.

The ubuntu-server*.seed files are included on the CD but not pointed at
by grub because we simply copy the data from d-i without any
modification, whereas for amd64, the grub config is modified.
