Marking as Invalid per the discussion from #ubuntu-installer below:
09:49:05 < evand> cjwatson: before I embark on this task, any objection to me
modifying debconf-set-selections to include an option to use the escape
capability? I can get m-a to work with spaces in the key name via escape, but
wubi fails on debconf-set-selection as its not using the capability.
09:49:22 < cjwatson> spaces in the *key* name?
09:49:47 < cjwatson> evand: can we avoid using spaces in question names? I
really don't think it's a good idea ...
09:50:49 < evand> cjwatson: I don't think I can remove the Windows username
from the keys in question, so my options are to either use spaces or continue
to replace them with a colon and have wubi carry that wart. Would you prefer
the latter?
09:51:10 < cjwatson> I think it's definitely preferable to replace them with
something
09:51:48 < evand> ok, works for me. I'll have Ago make the change and leave
m-a as is.
09:51:51 < cjwatson> So, what do we need to store in a variable template? Of
course we need a
09:51:54 < cjwatson> name to identify the template. Template names are made
up of components
09:51:57 < cjwatson> separated by the character `/' (slash). Each component
is limited to
09:52:01 < cjwatson> alphanumerics and `+' `-' `.' (plus, minus, full stop).
