Frustratingly, I can't reproduce this, despite thinking it's important and probably something I broke recently ...
Could you please try this again, still with DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer, but add the following special steps:
* When it asks you for your hostname, stop, and press Alt-F2 to switch to the second console.
* Type 'nano /var/lib/dpkg/info/pkgsel.postinst' (without the quotes), and change 'set -e' on the second line to 'set -ex'. Save and exit.
* Do the same thing with /usr/lib/apt-setup/generators/40cdrom, /usr/lib/apt-setup/generators/41cdset, and /usr/bin/load-install-cd.
* Press Alt-F1 to switch back to the main installer console, and continue.
* Attach the new /var/log/syslog when you're done.
