I have started to implement this. For the Etch version of the manual 
preseeding will be covered in a separate appendix B.

I have included a new section for user setup in first stage based on the 
proposed text (currently marked "NOT-YET" as the udeb is not yet used in 
installs).
Please check the new text and example for errors.

The source for the new appendix is available from [1] in SVN, but is not 
yet included in the daily builds of the manual. Before it can be included 
I need to write a new script that can parse the xml file and extract an 
example preseed file from it.
A preview is available from [2] (does not include the new user setup bit).

Others are welcome to flesh out the missing parts in the introductory 
sections.

Cheers,
FJP
