I agree; patches 1+2 (providing "bare" u-boot images for
platforms without u-boot in ROM/flash) have been uncontroversial,
so unless somebody explicitly objects, I intend to commit them to
the d-i git during the next days, now that d-i rc1 is out.
In addition, I think we should add Kibi's patch from
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=700026#26
to generate proper built-using entries.
