Building locally to test here...
And I have a build that looks OK by eye. Unfortunately, my local test
machine (Macchiatobin) seems to be dying and I can't test this
effectively now. :-(
Ah, OK. Thanks for spending time on this.
It needs some tiny debian-cd changes and then we'll get
netinst, DVD images etc. also including the graphical installer. Final
thing missing - the grub.cfg that's generated for the CD/DVD/USB boot
doesn't include menu entries for graphical boot.
Adding INITRD_GTK to build/config/arm.cfg as in:
diff --git a/build/config/arm.cfg b/build/config/arm.cfg
index fe8cf80f9..898795658 100644

seems to be enough for the last part, I'm getting "Graphical install"
and others in both cdrom{,/gtk}/debian-cd_info.tar.gz files' grub.cfg files.
I expect that change will make the "Graphical" entries appear also on
armhf where there isn't a cdrom/gtk build yet, so I'll also have a look
at that.
Hopefully I can learn enough debian-cd to build and test with proper
images this time around :)
