No, you just need to put it somewhere that you can grab it from, and
then use an early_command to get it -- I've gone completely overboard
with that approach by chaining a load of preseed files together, but you
only really need something like the preseed/early_command from here:

and then put the bits of the above scripts into an early script, and run
it.

Cheers, Phil.
