Forgot a few things.
1. #4 also means the preseed file needs be downloaded twice, since the one
downloaded by the installer is immediately removed once the preseed is loaded
into debconf db, before early_command.
2. Files parsed out in #4 needs to be stored somewhere. No matter where you
place

Hi,
Currently, the preseed file needs to be a text file. I find it to be a bit
limiting, especially if you want to do some non-trivial scripting in either
early_command or late_command (let's call them runners). There are basically
four options to address it AFAIK:
1. Strictly use one-liners i
Setting a placeholder value is a great idea, it simplifies the early_command
since the seen flag no longer needs to be set.
Thanks for the tip Philip.
