i reported a similar bug for i386, but apparently it only got fixed for
i386. seeing as it's been a problem, maybe i'll keep the workaround you
proposed (for a while, there was a workaround in build-simple-cdd for
this).

nice. another way i've been meaning to look into to accomplish this is
to use debian-installer's "auto" mode, so that you could include the
keyboard/language/country settings in the regular preseed file.

well, as for building preseeds, i don't think there are any questions
that non-root users can't configure.
debconf-set-selections run as a non-root user will produce a warning
about not being able to read the debconf passwords database, but that
shouldn't in any way prevent you from including any question you want in
your preseeding. i'll look into suppressing the warning message, and
consider how to implement your patch in a way consistant with the coding
style of simple-cdd.
i'll try to merge these when i get the chance (probably this weekend).
live well,
