If you can tell us exactly what is needed to support the internal keyboard 
(some kernel module probably?), we'll be happy to include it.
Does the installed system support the internal keyboard? If it does, then a 
start could be to compare the module list and/or the syslog from the
installer and the installed system.
You can find logs from the installation in /var/log/installer.
(We cannot do this ourselves as it's likely nobody active on the D- I team 
has the hardware.)

In the installed system the internal keyboard is properly supported.
After comparing installer-lsmod und lsmod of installed system it looks like 
the missing kernel-module is 'hid_apple'.

See the attached 'diff -y installer.lsmod running.lsmod'.
(it also would be a nice-to-have if the d-i team includes the .config of the kernel used in d-i in the .iso - could help to reproduce/research such failures) 

Cheers,
