Re: what about Netplan?
Pulling in all experiences with d-i from the last years I wonder how complicated it was to have it running with sysv-init ifupdown(2?) using default selections to pull in dbus, systemd and netplan dependencies?
There are still systems for example rPi zero where I gained more usability using init in combination with ifupdown.
But the main advantage of d-i especially on "experimental" hw such as new mobile machines still is to rescue things if something goes wrong with its minimal set of dependencies.
On the other hand having cloud init support would mean the path to "frozen" images that could be used directly on targeted hw would mean less overhead.
