This is because several partitioning options have been specified in the
default.preseed:

  $ grep partman profiles/default.preseed | grep -v ^'#'
  d-i partman-auto/method string regular
  d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe  select All files in one partition (recommended for new users)
  d-i partman/choose_partition  select Finish partitioning and write changes to disk


You'd need to create your own default.preseed and not include those
entries. At the very least, default.preseed needs to contain:

  d-i preseed/early_command string anna-install simple-cdd-profiles


live well,
