Hello, Philipp,

It's great to see you made it and it works for you :)

I had a glimpse at both the preseed site and the scripts and I see the 
seed file resembling the one we use. However, the additional scripts are 
interesting and I would use some comment on what you achieved with them.

Cheers,
Ballock
