the simple-cdd/profiles question is a multiselect.

it *might* be possible to change it to a select in simple-cdd.templates as well
as any preseeding for the appropriate question, but i don't know that anyone's
ever tried.

the preseeding files are loaded sequentially, so the last profile to load
values for a given debconf question will take priority. i think the order is
alphanumeric, but it may vary depending on your locale settings.
