Building debian-installer with network-console, how do I avoid desktop?

I want to install Debian 7.2.0 x64 server with dm-crypt/LUKS and LVM on a remote machine. I'll have temporary console access. But for now, "remote" means "next to me".

I'm building debian-installer with network-console using the standard method. The "remote" machine is initially running Debian 7.2.0 x64 server. I put the debian-installer image and debian-installer-rd.gz initrd in the "remote" machine's /boot, and reconfigured grub2 to boot debian-installer by default.

[Edit2: SNIP]

Is there a string for "preseed.cfg" that will make the remote installation process more like installing locally? Or can I specify what packages to include in a general way, with categories like those in the standard checklist of software to install? I have studied <http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html> and grub2 documentation, and don't see anything obvious.

Edit: OK, so I've found <http://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/example-preseed.txt>. Much food for thought. But I'd still appreciate a simple solution

Edit2: OK, I've gotten it to work Working from example-preseed.txt, it was easy. Basically, without "d-i auto-install/enabled", you're prompted for whatever you haven't specified. In retrospect, that's pretty obvious.
