Where would the Installer look for gzip? I can check at this stage
whether gzip is there.

Does the Installer divert start-stop-daemon to prevent services from
being started?

The way to start the Installer is only creative for a Raspberry Pi. It's
remarkably similiar to what an amd64 EFI box experiences: The UEFI
firmware is started (on a PC it's the first thing that runs, on the
Raspi it is called from the binary firmware blob that is read from the
boot medium and runs on the GPU), the UEFI firmware fires up grub which
in turn invokes the installer.
I am open to suggestsions for other ways to start the installer.
Greetings
