I'm lagging behind on my debian-boot@ reading, but it seems I can't find any mails regarding this.

It might be. Having this package in a d-i release for more exposure might be a good idea though. I suggest we delay this until after the next one has been published (and tested a bit). I don't think we're ready for the next point release yet anyway, are we? KiBi.
