This feature _is_ in the installer.
Read the whole answer to the above question on
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/FAQ#Q:_How_can_I_install_sid_.28unstable.29_with_DebianInstaller.3F
"It is not possible to install sid from a netinst or full CD.
Use the netboot installation method, a businesscard CD image,
or floppy images (with the net-driver floppies)."
Since there are no businesscard or floppy images existing
anymore, you have to use the netboot image, as from:
http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/i386/daily/netboot/
It is the "mini.iso" file.
