This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 1.7.10

---------------
ubiquity (1.7.10) hardy; urgency=low

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Check for a valid cursor position in zoommap's hit_test and other minor
    fixes.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Disconnect from ubiquity's debconf emulator when reconfiguring packages
    and when running ucf; recognise X_LOADTEMPLATEFILE as a valid debconf
    command (LP: #193986).

According to the 20080221 Kubuntu Daily Build manifest 1.7.10 is included and this problem still exists

I am the author of the remastersys script and I have narrowed this down to the popularity-contest package - as far as remasters go anyway.

It seems that trying to reconfigure popularity-contest causes this to hang which is what is happening at 94%. I've looked through Ubiquity and according to syslog, this is where it is hanging. Sometimes it hangs for 5 minutes and sometimes it is longer.

One other thing I noticed when looking into this, I saw mention of popularity-contest only not being able to be preseeded a second time so I'm not sure if the issue is with popularity-contest or with Ubiquity's handling of the issue.
