An update: EXCELLENT NEWS!
We have a working Edubuntu Desktop Installer!
Unfortunately, we have one glaring issue/omission. The ubuntu-flavor-installer framework apparently lacks the --try-or-install flag, so the “Try or Install” functionality of ubuntu-desktop-installer does not function. This is unfortunate because edubuntu-desktop-installer is attempting to pass that flag when first booted and is using the same mechanism (a systemd service file) to remove the dock and desktop icons, albeit with a package as opposed to in casper itself.
However, the mechanism isn’t important as much as the command line being passed is still edubuntu-desktop-installer --try-or-install which, if feature parity were a thing, it should still begin with a “Try or Install” screen after language and keyboard selection. (Bug Report)
Another thing that would be nice is if this graphic could be customized to, for instance, the Edubuntu logo or something since, honestly, it won’t fit with all flavors’ theming:
