I use preseed_fetch in my preseed/late_command string. Unfortunately if
I want to use relative URL magic I have to use dummy preseed/run script
(or dummy preseed/include). Otherwise preseed.last_location[1] will not
be created and preseed_fetch will fail.

IMHO /var/run/preseed.last_location should be created even if any of
following values are not set:
 - preseed/run
 - preseed/include
 - preseed/include_command

[1] /var/run/preseed.last_location is created in preseed.sh:106 (r62125)

This just bit me too - most unexpected and more importantly not documented as such in README.prefetch (or README.preseed - what ever the file that documents /./ magic is called.)
