Thanks Christopher for your reply :)

After a lot more reading up, KickStart wasn't ever going to do what I
needed to achieve anyway.

The Debian Installer d-i && Ubiquity has been designed for this
purpose. Ubiquity is a frontend to the d-i installer. I've chosen to
remaster the desktop CD because it has casper/filesystem.squashfs,
which I have customised extensively. I'm now struggling to get the
desktop CD to respond to the installer options mentioned in [1]. My
install recognises locale with option:

debian-installer/locale=en_ZA

and that's all. Doesn't respond to the other options. Has anyone had
success with Ubiquity?

Any insight highly appreciated, as always :)
