Laurent is testing it in qemu-m68k. Testing with Aranym should work
as well. I never tried installing a recent version of Debian on any
variant of UAE (WinUAE, FS-UAE), but I would be very interested to
hear the results.
The more testing and bug reports we get, the faster we can improve
the image and debian-installer itself.
The relevant components are:
* debian-installer and its sub-modules:

I think one major change that probably needs to happen is that d-i
is patched to use parted on m68k as well like on the other architectures.
I have contributed a patch to parted to support Atari partition
tables which was previously a blocker for that [1].
