Probably.  And probably.  But probably not worth the effort at this
time.  All I need an install to do is two things:

1) setup the drives
2) install enough of an OS to get a shell

Timezone, user accounts, packages, and everything else can be done
later using the shell or a scripting language.  I was hoping
preseeding would be able to do those two things quickly and simply,
but I'm getting bogged down in minutia that is irrelevant for my use
case.  The lack of clear documentation and sample cases makes
preseeding move down the priority list.
