The default kernel is chosen by a baked-in preseed:

d-i     base-installer/kernel/altmeta   string hwe-16.04

When you use your own preseed, that one goes away, so you need to either
specify that in your own, or add that to your boot cmdline, etc.

One could argue it's perhaps a general d-i misfeature that preseeds
aren't additive/intersectional, but rather just override entirely, but
that's a broader bug than this one.

(Patches welcome for improving this situation, but it's how HWE d-i has
worked on x86 since precise or lucid, so certainly not a new behaviour
here on s390x)
