It's skipped.

The difference I can see is that, on the cubietruck, there's an extra
step. And it's due to this extra logging:
    debconf: --> METAGET debian-installer/flash-kernel-installer/title 
Description
    debconf: <-- 0 Make the system bootable

On the cubietruck, there would be these installation step:
    ..., Select and install software, Make the system bootable, Install the 
GRUB boot loader, ...
But on the arndale, it would be instead:
    ..., Select and install software, Install the GRUB boot loader, ...

Somehow, flash-kernel-installer does something different on both
machine.
