lh_binary_debian-installer: Preseed by repacking initrd in some situations

This patch repacks the initrd when using the d-i netboot images in order
to incorporate a preseed.cfg if it exists. Before this patch, preseeding
of d-i netboot images was not possible.

Repacking the initrd has the additional advantage of being able to preseed
the first few questions of the installation process.
