when preseeding questions that contain debconf passwords (which are handled
separately), you need to force the check for preseeding:

  build-simple-cdd --force-preseed

then it will only issue a warning instead of an error.

also in the future, please email simple-cdd@packages.debian.org, as the
debian-custom list is no longer used, and re-directs to the debian-blends list
now, and it is off-topic for debian-blends.

live well,
  vagrant
