It seems that the only needed changes are on debian-cd side.

AFAIK no package impacted.

Well, I'm afraid we have to live with the fact that less and less
people care about d-i during the development process (I also reduced
my own involvment, so I'm among these "people" too).

But there's indeed nothing we can really change about that. *Still* we
have a bit more people working on D-I right now, this is kind of a
consolation, isn't it?

So, well, there might be a risk but it's not like g-i isn't tested,
isn't it?
