I don't think it's the good value. I think the real problem was
introduced by this commit :
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/ubiquity/trunk/revision/4653

Adding a special case for Lubuntu directly in the code is possible.
Another solution is to add a plugin in ubiquity to override this value,
and possibly other behaviors of the installer (Edubuntu do something
similar).
