Bug Description

For the purpose of hacking stuff in the live filesystem before casper runs, it would be really handy to have support for a break= option that triggers after the live filesystem (including the COW) is mounted but before casper-bottom scripts are run.

(Of course, it would have to be careful to evade the redirection of fds 1 and 2 to casper.log ...)

  [ Luke Yelavich ]
  * casper-bottom/30accessibility:
    - Removed stale reference to acessx_applet.
    - Fix some typos for gconf values that had to be set as lists.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Pass debian-installer/locale to /root's debconf db (closes: Malone
    #41896).
  * Identify ourselves as casper when communicating with debconf.
  * Factor out preseeding code into casper-preseed; this knows that it only
    needs to register a question if it fails to set it, which saves memory
    by avoiding debconf having to rewrite templates.dat.
  * Preseed kbd-chooser/method as well as debian-installer/keymap, so that
    kbd-chooser run from ubiquity picks up the selected keyboard (closes:
    Malone #42202).
  * Use new dpkg-reconfigure --no-reload option (debconf 1.4.72ubuntu6) to
    avoid needlessly rewriting templates.dat.

  [ Tollef Fog Heen ]
  * Add ... to the end of all usplash messages. Malone #43856
  * Add maybe_break casper-bottom to allow breaking before running bottom
    scripts. Malone #43860
  * Don't show the name of the live cd user that's added.
  * Mount COW filesystem if show-cow is present on the kernel command line.
    Malone #43687
  * Disable the Kubuntu update notifier too. Malone #43806
  * Disable hibernation and enable sleep where appropriate. Malone #23882
