It would have to go on the kernel command line, not in the CD preseed
file.  The latter is read too late for this.

It would probably be better to add new values for the existing
FRONTEND_BACKGROUND environment variable (which can also go on the
kernel command line) rather than inventing a new preseeded template
which would basically just be a synonym for it.
