I moved it because ts-debian-hvm-install is also doing preseed
installation. That is, both host and guest install need some basic
pressed options. You first suggestion makes ts-debian-hvm-install have
to duplicate "auto=true", your later suggestion doesn't work for
ts-debian-hvm-install as it requires a file not url...

Not really, as per that webpage:

"The auto boot choice is not yet defined on all arches. The same effect
may be achieved by simply adding the two parameters auto=true
priority=critical to the kernel command line."
