You can preseed those too, of course.

Nothing in the installer checks # for attempts at buffer overflows or other exploits of the values of a # preconfiguration file like this one. Only use preconfiguration files from # trusted locations! To drive that home, and because it's generally useful, # here's a way to run any shell command you'd like inside the installer, # automatically. # This first command is run as early as possible, just after # preseeding is read. #d-i preseed/early_command string anna-install some-udeb #d-i ubiquity/summary string empty ubiquity ubiquity/summary note ubiquity ubiquity/reboot boolean true ubiquity languagechooser/language-name select German ubiquity countrychooser/shortlist select DE ubiquity countrychooser/countryname select Germany ubiquity countrychooser/country-name string Germany debconf debconf/language string de ubiquity console-keymaps-at/keymap select de ubiquity tzconfig/gmt boolean false ubiquity time/zone select Europe/Vienna ubiquity debian-installer/country string DE ubiquity debian-installer/language string de ubiquity debian-installer/locale select de_DE.UTF-8 console-setup console-setup/layoutcode select de console-setup console-setup/modelcode select pc105 console-setup console-setup/layout select Germany console-setup console-setup/variant select Germany ubiquity localechooser/supported-locales multiselect de_DE.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8 # This command is run just before the install finishes, but when there is # still a usable /target directory.
