Ubiquity should support preseeding of other packages

[Marc Tardif]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

When preseeding d-i with preseeds which don't have "d-i" as owners, it somehow manages to set those key/value pairs in the target database. Preseeding ubiquity should behave in much the same way, except it should consider preseeds which don't have "d-i" nor "ubiquity" as owners.

The current workaround would be to call the following command as part of ubiquity/success_command:

  debconf-copydb configdb targetdb \
    --owner-pattern $your_pattern \
    --config=Name:targetdb \
    --config=Driver:File \
    --config=Filename:/target/var/cache/debconf/config.dat

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:
apport-collect 387400

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
