Add support to debian preseed http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Preseed unattended install file format. In order to get fully automated d-i automation, we are using initrd preseed method (add a preseed.cfg file on top of the initrd filesystem). Tested with Ubuntu server 11.04, will add other debian and debian based OS variants on later patches.
