This leads me to think, whether d-i should try to support more than one set of
default answers say "modern desktop", "traditional workstation" and "server".
If these are split (primarily through proper defaults preseeding), the
desktop install could hide even more questions while the server install could
retain those questions that are requested without too much headache.
