Ok,
after hands off installation with answering the question "manually" --
I've installed "debconf-utils" and run some investigation
root# debconf-get-selections > /tmp/answers
root# vi /tmp/answers
# Default display manager:
# Choices: kdm, lightdm
kdm shared/default-x-display-manager select kdm
lightdm shared/default-x-display-manager select kdm
well it looks like for all installed "display managers" we have to
define "default-x-display-manager".
Hmm, it is not very elegant but does the job.

Hi,
I am working on "preseed.conf" file for "wheezy" and can not find
information on how define default "display manager".

tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, desktop
tasksel tasksel/desktop multiselect kde, xfce

During "handsoff" installation I asked to define default "display
manager".
What is required to be put in preseed file to provide an "answer" so
that installation proceed without asking the question?
This piece of information is missing on next page or
"example-preseed.conf"file
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apb.html
https://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/example-preseed.txt
Ubuntu documentation has next piece of information which I believe
does not apply to "Debian Wheezy"

A new *|preseed|*command has been added to provide a convenient way to
preseed additional items in the debconf database that are not directly
accessible using the ordinary Kickstart syntax:
preseed --owner gdm shared/default-x-display-manager select gdm
