We nobbled a lot of d-i's handling of this kind of thing in the name of
having the same set of packages installed on every system. Perhaps that
or something like it could be resurrected; if people still don't like
varying the set of packages that are installed, d-i could leave notes
somewhere about what it found, and something later could parse them.
