That goes in the opposite direction. This ensures that the seen flag stays at false. I really want seen=true so that the question is not displayed but since the initrd contains seen=false, the seen=true set by the early preseed from the kernel command line is reverted... At least that's my understanding of the problem I have been experiencing. Another solution would be to have a two-step parsing of kernel command line preseeds, we could add "!hostname=kali" or something like that would be only parsed after the initrd preseed and would thus override those set there.
