Sorry, no. This was an experimental build with all components
locally built from development versions in various git/svn
repositories. Neither the kernel package nor some of the
installer component versions used in this build are available as
binary packages in the Debian main archive yet, so it will still
take a bit of time until this works out of the box from the
Debian main archive.
As mentioned in my original mail there is also still the issue of
the MMC driver not yet being available in mainline, so at the
moment with d-i installations are possible to a SATA disk, but
not to an MMC/SD card.

Karsten
