Yes, it would have been nice if this issue could've been discussed,
especially since it was perfectly working and if "user are confused" then
the interface (i.e. d-i) should be improved and not simply the
functionality be dropped (more precisely: this issue should've been
brought up in a bug report).

Well, I don't know if there is a possibility for the kernel, but this
looks like experimental stuff, e.g.:
"Stability issues of the storage device driver firewire-sbp2"
I'm glad that I do not use storage currently via firewire ....
Well, if you like me to test later versions feel free to contact me. I
routinely connect ppc<->amd64 via firewire (of course using the "old"
stack).
Greetings
Helge
