This package doesn't seem to come with a lot of dependencies, so it
might be possible to patch it so that it supports building an udeb,
which is a package meant to be used within the installer. It would
probably make little sense to have it be used/configured by default,
but having it around so that it's available from expert mode would
probably fit your use case, right?

I'm copying the maintainer and the debian-boot mailing list to make
this request a little more known.

Mraw,
KiBi.
