openssh-server fails to install when preseeded with pkgsel/include

[Mathias Gug]

Binary package hint: debian-installer

Using an Intrepid alpha5 server iso with a preseed file to do an automatic install, openssh-server fails to install when preseeded with the following option:

d-i pkgsel/include string openssh-server

However selecting the Openssh server task in tasksel works correctly with:

tasksel tasksel/first multiselect Basic Ubuntu server, OpenSSH server

Syslog shows an dpkg failure when processing ufw triggers for openssh-server. It seems that the iptables modules are not available:

I've attached the syslog file just after the package installation failure occurred.

Here is the preseed file used to conduct the installation.
