Can d-i include modules that in the regular Debian repository would fall

The package in question here is ndiswrapper <http://ndiswrapper.sf.net>, 
which uses an existing Windows driver to get net access through an 
802.11g connection. In the context of d-i, these cards could be 
detected, and the user could be prompted for the location of the Windows 
drivers (either from removable media or a Windows partition).
Not in the official d-i images. Third parties could certianly put
together install images containing such software.
