I don't quite understand your proposal, but I think the best fix for
this issue would be to not set the cdebconf priority at the end of the
install in base-config but to set it to the initial cdebconf priority.
Like that installs in expert mode in d-i would have expert mode
questions in base-config and normal installs would run base-config at
high.

At the end of base-config there could be a debconf priority question at
priority medium. That way experts can choose if the still want to be
experts or if the want to continue at medium or high. Was that your
proposal?
