Surely there must be a way to override that behavior, or performing a 
kickstart based installation is impossible.  I thought maybe I'd email the 
'official' ubuntu kickstart maintainer, however there's no contact 
information on the page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KickstartCompatibility

and to make matters even more amusing, all the links for his name point to 
a wiki page which doesn't exist yet.
