Has anyone managed to create a reliable and repeatable process for
Ubuntu server installation from a local source that is fully automated
and does not require Internet access?

I have researched this painstakingly and got pretty far with an
approach based on kickstart (plenty of RHEL/CentOS/Fedora experience
here) and some preseeding, but I am completely stuck now. The problem
is that I either cannot turn off updates which require an Internet
connection, or that packages downloaded from the server iso or Ubuntu
archive server "cannot be authenticated". It is well possible that at
this point, package selection is the only remaining problem, I'm using
%packages rather than preseeding for this bit.

The distribution is 14.04.5 (corp requirement). I would be happy with
any solution at this point, even preseeding-only.
