I must have missed this, what d-i packages absolutely must use discover
1.x and won't work with 2.x with minimum changes? ethdetect uses
/usr/share/discover/*.lst and reduces them to ethernet-only, is that it?
Are there any others?

I notice that your discover-data package on
hackers.progeny.com/~branden/discover2 also contain the *.lst files, is
that for backwards compatability and are actually not used?
How hard would it be to write scripts that reduce the xml files in
discover2? There's a lst2xml script, can't we just reduce the *.lst
files and use lst2xml?

I'd say we need discover2 (8139too anyone?) at some point, why not deal
with the breakage now?
