My snippet (trusty) for ssh install was

d-i preseed/early_command string anna-install network-console
d-i network-console/start select continue
d-i anna/choose_modules string network-console
d-i network-console/authorized_keys_url string
http://172.16.175.98/openssh-key
d-i network-console/password password r00tme
d-i network-console/password-again password r00tme

I believe that in your case is the second line what is probably missing.
