Yes, the default profile is always loaded first, but other profiles are loaded later, so any specific preseeded question specified in both the default and other profiles, the last one to be loaded should "win". There are a few corner-cases (e.g. locales and keyboard settings are loaded very early before any profiles come into play), but partitioning happens much later in the process so it should work fine. live well, vagrant
