You rarely ought to need to touch it and in this case it being available by
preseeding or low priority looks to be the sanest way to go.

In modern machine the default ought to be the most logical option and ought
to work fine (and even provide some performance benefit in some cases) so
this shouldn't be so easy to mess with it IMO.
