We now more proactively check that the chosen mirror looks valid, offer autoinstall controls to allow the install to continue if the mirror cannot be contacted, and more. On similar note, a failure to complete unattended-upgrades is no longer fatal to the install.

On the subject of offline installs, there is a new fallback key to control the desired behavior when the Ubuntu archive mirror is unavailable during install time. The default policy is abort, which ends the install if the archive mirror is unaccessible. In some situations, it is acceptable to proceed with an offline install w
