Maybe, in the next > release? Most users simply don't care and don't want to be bothered with this. It's not like we prompt the user whether he wants to use grub or isolinux. If we added an explicit switch, this would have to be in expert-install-mode only imo. I can't speak for the d-i people, but since we entered freeze, I guess it's likely to late to add that for jessie. Especially, as already mentioned, you do already have a mechanism via preseed/late_command.
