First of all, I'm not familiar with d-i best practices. So maybe the following won't make sense. We could imagine either proposing another variable which would take specifications like “(hd0)” and do what's needed to convert them back to /dev/foo stuff, or detect (based on what? parens?) when a conversion is needed for the bootdev variable that was passed, and do that.
