That's like expecting a man page for "apt-get install"! Perhaps there
ought to be a man page for "d-i"...
You've now had a few threads about preseeding on this list and you've
been pointed to the documentation on [1] and [2].
In the particular case of installing packages via preseeding there's
this from [3]:
# Individual additional packages to install
#d-i pkgsel/include string openssh-server build-essential
This is like any preseed-like system where the CLI "<pkg-installer>
openssh-server" has a different syntax within preseed/kickstart/jumpstart.
