Hi Andreas

There's no real way of doing this yet.  It's on the roadmap to add the
ability to send "installer user data" to Curtin (the fastpath installer).

That data will tell Curtin how you want to set up partitions, networking
etc.

It should get done in the next 4 weeks or so when some other stuff is
finished.

You could customise the preseed to do this as well, but that would
probably only work for amending the second disk.

Also, have a close look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CloudInit
to see if anything can help you.
