Hi, I want to install Debian on several machines via preseeding, and have a 
question about automating of this process:

Is it possible to define my own variable for example NUM=01 and use it for 
generating hostname?

i.e in preseed.cfg:
d-i    netcfg/get_hostname     string  host$NUM

or in kernel option:
hostname=host$NUM

At this moment I have trobles due to exporting of values in quotes and the 
$NUM value is not reading.


Also I see that in some places d-i uses variables like for language packs in 
Ubuntu preseed:

d-i  pkgsel/language-pack-patterns   string  language-pack-kde-$LL
