Is there any debian-installer support yet?
Did you notice me developing and packaging debix and as a sub package
debix-imager. Debix-imager handles the part of boot-floppy and
ramdisk creation that needs root. I intend to do build D-I CDs with
debix as one option which might mean forking debian-cd or copying the
support for it from debian-cd.

Which noone has. Its more likely adding patches from various people
doing work on different archs and from debian-boot. Or even more
likely pestering debian-<arch> so someone volunteres to test and fix
problems that arise.
