'nosplash' doesn't work because it isn't passed through by user-params.
Use debian-installer/ splash= false for this behaviour instead
(LP: #548954). - 79. By Colin Watson

Historically, Ubuntu's default behaviour in the absence of command-line
arguments to the installer has been to pass 'splash' to the installed
system so that it gets a splash screen (and similarly 'quiet'). There's
some argument that this behaviour should require passing 'splash' to the
installer as well, but it's too late in the Lucid cycle for this change.
Nevertheless, we need a way to configure images such that they don't get
'splash' in the installed system, so introduce a 'nosplash' argument
which inhibits this, for use by the server CD (LP: #548954). - 78. By Colin Watson

* Ask grub-installer/
only_debian at high priority again (LP: #47135).
Originally, in Warty, we ensured that this question wouldn't be visible
by default to support simple installations of Ubuntu with as few
questions as possible. However, since then, we wrote Ubiquity, which
has taken over responsibility for the simple installation case, and it's
become clear that automatically installing GRUB to the first disk's MBR
is inadequate for many more complex situations. Ironically, Ubiquity
makes this option easily accessible from the "Advanced" dialog box, but
Ubuntu's d-i required a special boot parameter to display it.
* Update grub-installer/bootdev text to avoid GRUB device naming that
changed between GRUB Legacy and GRUB 2, and to use libata-style device
naming since that is more accurate for most people (LP: #391775) - 74. By Evan

Add missing $serial to get proper detection of serial console options
working. - 73. By Colin Watson

Preseed grub-pc/
install_ devices_ empty while installing grub-pc, since we
deliberately defer calling grub-install until a later point. Thanks to
Dustin Kirkland for debugging assistance. - 72. By Colin Watson

* Add $partition_offset to $bootpart when deciding which partition to make
active based on GRUB-style device names (found while testing fix for LP
#185878).
* Use grub-probe to convert device names rather than relying on
device.map.
* Only add removable devices to device.map if using GRUB Legacy.
* Use an appropriate OS device name rather than (hd0) if possible.
* When installing from a non-CD medium, we only need to reset the default
boot device if we would otherwise end up installing GRUB to the
installation medium.
* Convert device names to by-id form before preseeding
grub-pc/install_ devices. - 71. By Colin Watson

Don't check for LVM when we've already worked out that we're installing
on SATA RAID.
