You tell us. :)  So far, no one has stepped forward to manage the MILO
side of things.  Dealing with aboot is easy; it's packaged in Debian, so
pulling it from the archive when building CD images is straightforward.
MILO, OTOH, is not packaged at all, and (if my knowledge is current) has
a rather grotesque build process due to its use of a stripped-down Linux
kernel as the second-stage bootloader.  Getting it somewhere that it can
be smoothly incorporated into the d-i builds is a challenge, one that's
likely to only be overcome by someone with a vested interest in the
MILO-dependent subarchs.
