You are here talking about the Debian Installer. Such a menu is in the
TODO-list, yes, we have already discussed about it.
But what Rich is after is an already-installed system, apparently. I
don't know if in his situation he can preseed some parameter. But again,
AIUI he would not be using the debian-installer but raspi etc. so
debian-boot and debian-accessibility can't do much about it.

Note that low priority and preseed still need to be set somehow, so it
doesn't solve the bootstrap question like the 's' boot shortcut does.
