The problem is that preseed file that is used in debian/ubunty installer (d-i) is a lot less convenient then kickstart. In particular, early- and late- installation scripts are not very easy to configure. I had to cook a one line command with some sort of black magic to make it work if I used snippets. I hope those scripts made it easier and more readable. I never got a chance to give them a try, but it is on my to-do list. I am not sure who contributed this feature to cobbler, but the lack of documentation or use-case example make them less appealing. I think, they work as some sort of wrappers, which are not necessary for anaconda-based installations.
