Hello David,
Thanks anyway for your analyze :-) Yes, the first sentence I've posted
should work, but it doesn't ! And following your thoughts, I've noticed
that this kind of debian-installer's preseed 'note' type occurs in other
parts of the example preseed file, the syntax seems correct. Perhaps a
bug in the debian-installer system ?
With regards,
Fred.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I also tried Samuel's suggestion,
just for self-education purposes, to follow along and see
what I can learn.

As suggested in the "Creating a preconfiguration file" section of the
installation manual, the easiest way is to install by hand in these
conditions and then use debconf-get-selections --installer
On this machine I am running now I get the below output,
which I hope is useful just as an example for discussion.
All the lines in it look similar to what you provided in your original
message. So I'm not clear how running that command will
provide any extra information that would solve your issue.
I can understand how it would be helpful in the case
of Type:boolean, but I don't see how it helps in the situation of
Type:note, that I've just learned about today.
