Well, for the global variable, I am not truely sure that you can avoid
it without some pretty invasive refactoring, so just leave it for now,
IMHO.

You're welcome. Please get back to us once you will have a nice and
clean patchset. :) And don't hesitate to test preseeding as well
(passing "question=value" on the command-line is enough).

Please be *very* careful with this kind of assumptions. The
debian-installer has a pretty long history already, and some code that
look behave strangely at first actually solve a real issue. This has
already bitten me once or twice, so please check the code history ("git
blame" or graphical git interfaces are very good to do that), to see in
which context the code was written like it currently is.
