Hi Konrad,

on the debian-boot@lists.debian.org there are people who are the most likely to
be able to answer your question, but before asking there it may be useful to
ask first on a debian user mailing list, where there may be people experienced
with preseeding as well.

I am not sure if it will work, but have you tried d-i base-installer/excludes ?

Have a nice day,
