The SRU for this is currently blocked by the verification of bug 1079185 and I'll describe the situation with that verification in that bug.

I feel it is appropriate to bump this bug to Critical for Quantal to reflect the urgency of this SRU.

Justification: this bug is currently rendering all ARM server installers completely unusable in Quantal, and this is a severe post-release regression. Both "Renders the system temporarily or permanently unusable" and "Severely affects applications beyond the package responsible for the root cause" apply here.

The only workaround is to manually mess inside the installer during installation, which is both unacceptable for such an essential default case and renders MAAS unusable.

Therefore, although I will still seek to resolve the blocking verification for bug 1079185, I propose that if this doesn't happen very soon then we revert that fix in -proposed so that only this bug is fixed, so that this can then meet SRU criteria for promotion to -updates (since I can verify this bug is fixed easily) and get this bug resolved in Quantal ASAP.
