Because there are no .udebs released for it.

Yes, you need to checkout d-i, and go into
debian-installer/packages/kernel/linux-kernel-di-hppa and make an upload of
this with the 2.4.27 kernels.

The rest of the stuff includes some adaptation in 3 different places.
build/config is in debian-installer/installer/build/config/hppa.cfg or
somewhere in the hppa subdir of config. The base-installer is
debian-installer/packages/base-installer/debian/postinst, and rootskel i am
less familiar with but it is in debian-installer/packages/rootskel.

What this means is probably that nobody has been doing hppa d-i work in ages.
