This is known as a better-than-nothing solution. :)

I have had the exact same idea, when thinking about how to solve the
multiple-providing-retrievers problem, but I never really got any
response on it (though I have to admit I never sent a mail, only
discussed it on IRC). I think it's a good idea.

I think it should be "Load" instead of "Retrieve", though. I've also
been toying with the idea of calling udebs "installer components"
instead of "installer modules" since it's been confused with kernel
modules a lot. It used to say packages, but that's confusing as well,
for someone who already knows Debian but doesn't know how d-i works.
Thus, "Load installer components from floppies" or "from a floppy"
depending on how it'll work.
