Hi Chantal,

What are you trying to accomplish?  Preseeding is used for installation.  Are
you trying to install one package to an already installed system?  Do you want
this to happen automatically?  If that's the case, you may want to look into
puppet, chef, bcfg2, or cfengine.  (I recommend puppet myself).

Cheers,
