Bug Description

This (fixed) Debian bug : https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=695908 affects 12.04.5 (preseed-1.50ubuntu1)

If you're (for example) using multi-site puppet to deploy hosts, and want the pxe clients to fetch their preseed from their "domain local" puppet install, you might say they should preseed from http://puppet:80 - unfortunately, when the host boots it attempts to fetch puppet:80.domain.dom

(In theory removing the port would "fix" this, unfortunately foreman likes to make sure there's a port in the preseed url, so that's not trivial either).
