It is present a openssh-client which allows you to copy files via ssh.
You just have to install the client udeb:

$ anna-install openssh-client-udeb

and 'voila', you're good to go with scp.

For NFS and iSCSI here are already wishlist bugs asking for it (see bugs 
#237121 and #441291 - btw existing debian installer bugs can be found on [1]) 
but still lacks who to develop such packages.
For nbd d-i already has NBD support with the package partman-nbd [2].

So, if there's no objection i will close this report as the same issues are 
already addressed in existing wishlist reports.
