Major improvement, thank you! I did have to answer some questions on
the way through, but did get a good connection.

For the record, here's my complete netcfg setup, other than commented
out lines:

d-i netcfg/link_wait_timeout string 4
d-i netcfg/get_domain string unassigned-domain
# Disable that annoying WEP key dialog.
d-i netcfg/wireless_wep string
d-i netcfg/wireless_essid string Curleynet2
d-i netcfg/wireless_security_type select wpa
d-i netcfg/wireless_wpa string >redacted<

Network related prompts I had to answer:

Primary network interface

Wireless networks

Auto-configure networking

Please enter the hostname

In all multiple choice cases, the correct selection was already
highlighted; I did not have to select another option.

I expect with a bit of playing around I can minimize those.
