I had just reverted the committed patch because of this issue (before 
reading this mail). As you do not yet know which kernel will be installed 
for the target system, you can *never* queue anything that requires 
knowing the ABI or flavor of the target system's kernel before 
base-installer.

Back to the drawing board.

Also, if packages are queued by D-I you should make sure they are included 
on installation CDs.
