Binary package hint: debian-installer

When installing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS from a USB drive (alternate CD install created with usb-creator-gtk) with the Language and Keyboard values preseeded and a preseed/file also on the disk the installation gets to a point where it tries to mount the CD and fails.
D-I prompts for additional drivers after not detecting the CD drive, but if you run detect again it correctly mounts the drive and the automated installation continues as expected.

This seems like a race condition, as the USB drive has not settled when D-I tries to mount it.

The expected behavior is that the installation continues as normal waiting for the drive to settle before mounting it.
