[Well really customized partitioning is annoying. But that is documented.] I tend to do multiple installs as I am experimenting with having Debian to do things in *MY* idiosyncratic way. I started with using EXPERT mode but found repetitive typing annoying. An appropriately edited preseed.cfg allows me to automate all options except the particular feature(s) of interest. My only problem is finding a *SINGLE* references which lists *ALL* the choices which can be preseeded. I find Debian documentation to frequently resemble the early _CPM-80 Manual_. It's all there but finding it can me daunting.
