In our case, the installation procedure is mostly driven by a
preseed.cfg and I had to change the default d-i priority to critical.
The critical priority of d-i proved to be a good choice because of the
sane defaults and because it allowed us to keep the preseed.cfg quite
simple.
However for only 2 or 3 extra packages I need to lower priority to
medium and since I haven't found a way to achieve this from within
preseed.cfg (Is there a way?), I created an extra .udeb that runs at
the last stage, hoping that this would help. Unfortunately the results
were not what I expected.
