I'm using a local package cache through approx rather than a static mirror
clone, and point the installer (and thus apt/sources.list) to that for setup and
updates. Approx will fetch newer versions as needed, so I don't need to do
anything else to keep the mirror updated. There are separate debian and security
stanzas in approx.conf, so the mirrors are http://server.domain.xyz:9999/debian
and http://server.domain.xyz:9999/security.
I haven't tried preseeding, but it should work the same way. --Don
