Pretty sure the wheezy installer already implements this.
Unfortunately for jessie the Linux kernel mechanisms that allowed this
have gone away so this feature is broken (#725714).

There are several conflated issues but I think:
Packages installed by d-i should be marked as auto-installed.
Packages selected by the user manually should be marked as manually installed.
Packages selected by the preseed options for installing packages
should be marked as automatically installed.
Packages specifically installed by d-i or preseeding should not be
autoremovable or there should at least be an option for this.

If you have recommends enabled these will be installed by default I
think. I haven't filed any bugs about this.
