It depends on which level we support vlans. I see two options:
* full support with the debconf questions and proper scripts,
* only make the necessary udebs available and a good documentation on
how to enable vlans through a shell.
In my opinion, people who would like to enable VLAN should be pretty
used to the command-line (network switches are usually configured that
way), so the later would be enough, IMHO.

Please look into the vlan [1] package for the necessary command line
tools. Kernel support is provided by the 8021q module, available in
standard Debian kernel.
[1] http://packages.debian.org/vlan
Once the vlan package is installed, I just need to write something like:
iface eth0.42 inet dhcp
This will configure an interface named "eth0.42", using the physical
link connected on "eth0" and tagging packets with VLANID 42.
So in any case, we would need to recognize if such interface is used
during the installation process to install the "vlan" package in the
target.
