This is all very well and find if you're using a single architecture
with nearly identical hardware setups. Granted, with discover and
read-edid, things are a little easier.
When you need extreme customizability in installs, FAI does a very good
job. It "feels" like a kludge at times, but once you wrap your head
around the process, it's actually pretty easy to follow. For your
debconf database, you could always create a quick script to copy over an
existing database. Or you could possibly look into hacking on the LDAP
backend for debconf.
I was intrigued by Progeny's autoinstall Python script, but never had a
chance to look into it further.
