Bug Description
A Quantal netinst failed with "Failure while unpacking required packages. This will be attempted up to five times.". As (I presume) this is priority critical, it breaks my automated installation.
Note: I'm using a custom ARM machine, and I hacked d-i to get this far. But Steve thought this could be a general Ubuntu bug so asked me to report it :)

stgraber pointed out that he can reproduce this in plain debootstrap, and I have confirmed that I get this too (armhf for me). I've attached debootstrap output and var/log/ bootstrap. log
