A good FTR. However, when I tried this a few years ago it didn't work
for me. Maybe I lacked patience to sort it out properly. That is why
I went to boot parameters for language and keyboard.
The OP does not say how the preseed file is provided to the installer.
My recollection (not checked) is that putting it in the initrd is the
only way of ensuring language and keyboard preseeding from the start
of the installation.

I am not sure that that criterion is sufficient to advocate unstable on

I suspect the maintainer ensures the package meets quality control
standards for inclusion in Debian. It is then bunged into unstable,
bugs and all. If you think the maintainer rigorously checks out
every aspect of the software, well ...
