The actual problem failing the install is farther on:

Mar 11 17:51:23 apt-install: Running elilo...
Mar 11 17:51:23 apt-install: elilo: /etc/elilo.conf: No such file or directory
Mar 11 17:51:24 apt-install: dpkg: error processing elilo (--configure):
Mar 11 17:51:24 apt-install:  subprocess post-installation script returned 
erroMar 11 17:51:24 apt-install: Errors were encountered while processing:
Mar 11 17:51:24 apt-install:  elilo

Maybe it's actually be an elilo-installer bug, if it's supposed
to create elilo.conf. Oddly, the code to do so is as follows:

bootpart=$RET
rootfs=`mapdevfs $rootfs`

# Write out elilo.conf

# TODO: this template doesn't have the right text; need a different
# template
# for the progress bar title.
db_progress START 0 2 debian-installer/elilo-installer/title

db_progress INFO elilo-installer/progress_installing

if ! apt-install elilo ; then

Seems to be missing the actual code to write it, mm? The code seems to
have never been in there; I checked elilo-installer in stable and it's
the same. So how did this work back then? I was seeing successful
installs on ia64 until near the beginning of March, timing that seems to
point at the 3.6-3 upload of elilo.
