+ * Autoinstallers for Debian Buster and Ubuntu Bionic
+ Buster is identical to Squeeze.
+ Bionic requires significant reworking from the Xenial days:
+ - The atomic partman-auto recipe ignores the boot partition
+ when using LVM, and our pygrub can't read from LVM. Switch
+ to using an expert recipe that matches the atomic one in
+ Debian Buster, but with Ubuntu's preferred sizes and filesystems.
+ - The preseed value to avoid installing Grub2 instead of old Grub
+ is no longer honored, and we can't handle it the way we do in
+ Debian because grub-legacy doesn't exist in Ubuntu. Instead,
+ let it install Grub2 and then we'll install and use pv-grub-menu,
+ which maintains a menu.lst from the parsed contents of grub.cfg.
+ - pv-grub-menu contains a bug - it hardcodes "/boot" as the directory
+ pygrub will expect to find kernels and initrds in; this is wrong
+ when the system's /boot is on its own partition, and update-menu-lst
+ doesn't provide configurable options either in its invocation, a
+ parsed pre-existing menu.lst (where the root device and default
+ kernel options can be persistently set in comments), or a config
+ file. However, it does source /etc/default/grub after it has set
+ this hardcoded variable to "/boot". We abuse /etc/default/grub
+ to empty that variable back out.
