Hmm, I see. I'm wrong.

Well, I hope debconf uses 'high' as default value, because this level
asks users only a few questions and fits d-i's one.
Another choice is to set 'medium' running before pkgsel stage, but it
may cause more bugs.

At least it's confusing that initial pkgsel stage and after-login
stage use different priority levels.
