No, main-menu does not currently give a choice in this situation, it always picks the first one. > Perhaps what I ought to do is give it a menu sort priority slightly > lower than base-installer, then if it's to be used as a d-i netinst, > just boot it in expert mode.

You can do interesting things with isinstallable files, to, for example, make your new menu item disappaear from the menu. Take a look at the isinstallable file of grub-installer, which does this if the root filesystem is on XFS, to let lilo-installer be autorun instead, for example. -- see shy jo
