You probably need to sync with Colin Watson (cjwatson@debian.org...but
he listens here of course) who is, as far as I can remember, the one
working on a graphical interface for the installer.
As far as I can tell, Colin first made early work in cdebconf up to
now, to prepare it for the graphical interface. I haven't seen much
activity in last weeks, mostly because of his involvment in the
release team, which probably has lowered this topic in his
priorities...
We probably can expect more energy put in this after sarge release as
the main focus of the d-i team will now be keeping D-I ready for a
release.
But, anyway, this certainly does not prevent some work to occur....and
new resources are always welcomed, indeed...:)
