I just succeeded in building a dual-bootable i386/powerpc image. It's
just a combination of the i386 and powerpc netinst beta4 images and some
manual hacking in the Release file. You can find the image and the
script I used to burn the image on 

http://www.soziologie.ch/~steinlin/d-i/netinst-ppc-i386/

This probably needs some more testing, to be sure it is really bootable
on the majority of i386 and powerpc hardware.

If you are still interested in dual-boot images for LinuxTag I will try
to automate and improve this process.
