Hi @LAD-PHP,

This looks more like a quirk of the distribution you're using than a proper Packer bug.

Out of curiosity which distribution is it?

Given this is not a Packer bug (the tool still exposes the preseed file through HTTP, which is what it is supposed to do), I'll close this issue, but feel free to reopen it if I missed something.

Thanks
