What? I'm talking about a future evolution. I can't see why something using a pre-pkgsel.d hook to prepare things for d-i couldn't be updated to create e.g. an extra file to get pkgsel to behave as intended. I don't see why such implementation details would be important in this discussion, and that's why I mentioned “debian-edu udebs can certainly interact with it so that it behaves as desired”. Pretty sure I'm not the one “misunderstanding” anything here. KiBi.
