What if base-config re-asks the question about debconf priority *at*
medium priority, with the default value set to high?  This means that
users who used the normal priority setting (high) in the installer just
get behind-the-scenes confirmation of this setting, and users who ran
the installer in expert mode, or who had a failure that reset the
debconf priority, get the chance to reconfirm whether this is a
preference they want carried over into the base system.
