From the changelog of network-preseed.postinstall:

| * Load dhcp preseed file first, but then load any specified preseed/url.

So when the DHCP filename has an URL then that file is fetched and "preseeded"
Next it does the kernel command line provided  preseed/url.
(it even will do DHCP provided preseed/url  ( cool, really cool ))


Having the DHCP preseed support in beta2 is good thing,
please make it possible.
