Even if an actual MTA is added to the d-i pkgsel/include debconf
question in the installer preseed file, setting up software RAID in the
installer will cause postfix to be installed, prompting the user for
configuration information, and then postfix will silently be replaced
with the MTA requested by the preseed file.

The whole point of preseeding is to automate stuff.  If an MTA has
already been selected and its configuration preseeded by the person who
built the custom installer, then installing a different MTA,
interrupting the person performing the install to ask them unexpected
questions whose answers are going to be discarded, and then uninstalling
the spurious MTA seems pretty sub-optimal.
