speakup modified installation CD

A couple of things:

1. I've made a modified debian installation CD that allows you to install 
via a doubletalk without having to enter the cheat code. In other words, if 
you connect up a doubletalk to ttyS0 and boot from this CD, it will just 
start talking. You can download it here:

2. i have a problem with the debian installer (both my modified  CD and the 
original one from Shane's space on debian.org).  When you get to the part 
where you "Select and install software", it always wants to uninstall the 
kernel. Sometimes it asks if you want to abort the uninstall. That's not too 
bad since you can just say, yes, you want to abort the uninstall. But even 
worse is that often it just uninstalls it.  It seems to leave the kernel 
intact if you select an unmodified kernel. But then, of course, the machine 
is not going to talk when it bootts.

Is there a good way to prevent the installer from uninstalling the speakup 
modified kernel?
