Looks like
d-i netcfg/target_network_config select nm_config
needs to be used IN ADDITION to the other settings.
And network-manager needs to be installed with late_command. Without this, the
first reboot won't have network.
Installing network-manager will pull a graphical desktop. Thats not the best
decision for a server :-()
