Mmmh,  as  far as I   understand it  seems  that  only  some parts  of
base-config have been moved into d-i, for example the apt setup

http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/apbs04.html#preseed-apt

has the "d-i" prefix in the preseed lines, while account setup

http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/apbs04.html#preseed-account

still  as "passwd"   prefix,  that I   think  means that  it won't  be
considered by d-i,  but rather by  base-config when it  runs passwd in
the second stage.

Am I missing something?
