See > <https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch05s03.html.en#preseed-args>. Alternatively, if you're providing the preseed via a url (and I think for a least some of the other options for preseeding) you can specify auto=true, which delays these questions until after the preseed file is available, and thus makes your preseeding work -- this is the purpose of the various "Automatic Install" options in the boot menus. They just add "auto=true" to the default kernel command line.
