I guess the reportbug tool didn't work out that well. Pasting below the
text received previously on debian-boot.

Hi, I had written about this to mailing lists several years ago but never got
the proper bug number as I think the bug was reported.  I often like to run
the installation at low priority so I can configure everything correctly at
the start of the installation process and so that when the system reboots into
the newly installed system things are all setup and ready to go. After the
base system is installed I then exicute a shell and chroot into /target and
run dpkg-reconfigure adduser to tell it not to have system readable home
directories.  If I then do dpkg-reconfigure debconf still in the chroot and
set it to low priority the installation continues up until it gets to the pam
profiles selection screen.  No matter what I select here even when everything
is selected the system tells me that no pam profiles are enabled for the
system and would grant all users access with authenticating which is not
allowed.  I can not preceed past this screen as even trying to go to another
shell and change the priority back to medium will not work as I am still stuck
at that screen when I return to the console.  I also think that if a user sets
the priority to low in the installation process that at least for the
installation even in the target the priority remain at that setting and if a
user wants to change it back to medium they could do this after the
installation.  How would I be able to submit further information on how to get
the proper information to someone so it could be looked into and get fixed?

My main reason for running installs at low priority both at the main
debian-installer screen and wanting to do so after the base system is
installed is so I can have a fully configured system and not have to go
back and reconfigure everything after the installation is finished.  If
the debconf priority of the installation would be transfered over to the
installed system when the base system was being installed then I could
have an installation where I was asked about all configuration questions
the first time the system was fully installed and when it came up at the
end of the installation everything would be ready to go. My question is
why is the debconf priority not carried over from the debian-installer
to the installed system after the base system is installed as if a user
chose expert mode or just low priority I would have thought this would
have been the case?

Here is the system logs from the debian-installer and it stops right
where my issue happens as I can not get past this point because the
choices are empty by default and regardless of what I choose I am always
told that I am not allowed to have no pam profiles selected which of
course I want all of them.
