Not sure what you mean exactly. All these _are_ separate packages.
Some are even subdivided (like partman and the bootloader installers)
because you don't need all possible bootloaders on all architectures.
Here are some links for you:
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=netcfg&searchon=names&subword=1&version=unstable&release=all
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=partman&searchon=names&subword=1&version=unstable&release=all
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/debian-installer/grub-installer
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/debian-installer/hw-detect
The only issue may be that these components (udebs) are designed to
operate in a certain environment, provided by other debian-installer
components. So most of the components have dependencies on other (less
visible) components.
The source for components can of course be found in our SVN repository.
Cheers,
FJP
