I''d be inclined to split that exec into multiple parts, and put a
"require =>
file["/tmp/$file"]" on the first one and a "require =>
exec["first-one"]" on
the second.

Not that I can think of at the moment, although you could perhaps put an
unless into the important exec object that checks whether a relevant config
item is present in the Debconf database, but that would require you to
specify a question in each preseed object, which would be teh suck.
The answer, as Luke says, is pre-run subscription.
