server install from iso using apt-cacher server

Question

I have a server running apt-cacher. Is there any way to specify it as an apt source while doing a Ubuntu server install from iso? I'm currently doing a minimum install and then modifying /etc/apt/sources.list. I'm looking for something similar to the vmbuilder --mirror option. Currently using the 12.04.02 iso.

During the setup, you can specify a custom repo URL in the repo selection screen. So you just enter an address pointing to apt-cacher server there for example http://apt-cacher:3142/mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu
