No. The examples in the Tutorial are the only good explanaition about
how to use Priorities. Though, I will modify my suggestion:
- I would like to see a method do distinguish between answered and
supressed questions (default answers)
- I would like to store data about answered/unanswered questions
somewhere
- I would like to have templates with substitution fields. BTW, why
not use gettext for templates?

Sure. Peter's patches are AFAIK not ready and I have a bad feeling about
his dbootstrap modifications. I have a testing installation image with
hacked base-config (my patches), but I was disappointed, since many
debconf templates in called packages templates in the first base-config
steps were not translated. It is too late to change them all, so I can
only keep calling it a pity and hope that people mastering customised CD
sets would contact me or Peter.
OTOH the language can be set while locales are configured, so the few
steps between initial reboot and locales configuration has to be
non-localised.
Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.
