Bug Description

When trying to install ubuntu-server, right after starting the install from the boot menu, I get a constant stream of errors on the console and it goes no further:

'can't get a pty: No such file or directory'

We found that /dev/pts was mounted in the images from 20130606 (which worked) but not 20130607.2

cjwatson pointed out a recent change after some debugging:
* debian/extra/udev.startup: Drop devpts mounting again, already done by
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/init.

This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 204-0ubuntu3

---------------
systemd (204-0ubuntu3) saucy; urgency=low

  * debian/extra/udev.startup: Restore devpts mounting, dropped in
    202-0ubuntu10. The justification for dropping it was that it's already
    done by /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init, but this script is only used in
    d-i and d-i does not use /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init (LP: #1188864).
