No, it sounds quite sensible to me.  It should be probably be documented
in the installation manual, though.

In the long run, this sould probably be turned into yet another debconf
question, as one might be preseeding systems which needs to boot without
any user intervention.  But I think this should be postponed after
Lenny.
