The preseed doc[2] suggests the former is behind the (bare) hostname

Yes, the installation-guide under
https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/amd64/apbs04.en.html
even explicitly states this, indeed:
# If you want to force a hostname, regardless of what either the DHCP # server
returns or what the reverse DNS entry for the IP is, uncomment # and adjust the
following line. #d-i netcfg/hostname string somehost
Thanks for pointing that out! Don't know how I missed that.
However, that requires a per-host preseed, where as with kernel command
line I can have the same preseed for all my hosts (or at least all hosts
in a certain category) and simply just pass in a hostname in the
tftpseed (which has to be host specific anyway and for me is already
generated by my provisioning system).
So perhaps it would be useful to have a like netcfg/hostname_priority
flag where one can choose a priority order?
