Quoting debian-installer manual:
debconf/priority (priority)
This parameter sets the lowest priority of messages to be displayed.
The default installation uses priority=high. This means that both
high and critical priority messages are shown, but medium and low
priority messages are skipped. If problems are encountered, the
installer adjusts the priority as needed.
If you add priority=medium as boot parameter, you will be shown the
installation menu and gain more control over the installation. When
priority=low is used, all messages are shown (this is equivalent to
the expert boot method). With priority=critical, the installation
system will display only critical messages and try to do the right
thing without fuss.

Make it possible to answer the question from the subject line.
