That's correct so far. It works like it was designed: with the priority parameter you can control, if you want to see only the most important questions or all (new-user installation vs. expert installation). That only makes sense for interactive installations. When doing automated installations via preseeding, that's a complete different story. In that case, the control of which question you see and which not is lying in your preseed file: if you answer a question via your preseed file, the installer does not need to ask that anymore, because it's already answered.
