I see. So adding the .udebs just fixed the symptom of my problem by
chance, while the actual bug is located elsewhere (discover, maybe?).

The installer fails to automatically find the CD drive in the "Detect
and mount CD-ROM" step, no matter what I answer to the debconf
questions. I just tried again and found that if I "Execute a shell"
first, the necessary modules are in fact there, I can load them with
modprobe, and then the "Detect and mount CD-ROM" step is successful.

I am using sarge-powerpc-netinst.iso from
<URL:http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sid_d-i/powerpc/20040911/>
