It is priority=low, so I cannot but agree with you.
I'm adding to the command line with
auto=true url=file:///mnt/preseed.cfg
preseed.cfg contains what I need (which isn't normally a lot), including
the language and keyboard data. It can be on a partition of the USB
stick which contains the ISO. The partition has to be mounted by hand
from within d-i but it can be more automated by remastering the ISO with
the preseed file in it and an altered syslinux command line. url= then
becomes url=file:///cdrom/preseed.cfg.
I hope that addresses your question.
