 I have uploaded for Groovy a Differential to fix the parsing in the welcome module of Calamares: https://phab.lubuntu.me/D101
 I opened a new task to fix the automirror module: https://phab.lubuntu.me/T175 … Unfortunately it is not yet possible to use the globalstorage. This needs some upstream changes.
