You're right. I was just nitpicking about the technical mean...

So we're going to have two templates anyway. This fixes the warning
problem, too.

If one launches an automatic installs at priority=critical, anna won't
include preselected modules in the question, and keep them at
di_package_status_want_install, and won't consider their removal from
the list. That's what the unshown question workaround is for.
BTW, anna does :
debconf_fset(debconf, ANNA_CHOOSE_MODULES, "seen", "false");
before the question is asked. I think there are other instances of this.
Maybe this sould be moved after we input the question ?

I'll try and see, so we don't need a "seen" test not to overwrite
prefilled values.
