Hi,

I think this is the best solution:
* We already have -includes directories, so the concept is familiar.
* It's not magic; it just copies files.
* It covers almost all use cases I can think of, including:
- Overriding random bits of d-i (e.g. #498143)
- Adding firmware
- Adding preseed.cfg
- Modifying graphical d-i theme
* Avoids another difficult-to-name config option ("preseed-initramfs"?).
Some thoughts:
* This doesn't handle the case where you want to remove files or
programmatically modify things, a necessity where you want to reduce the
size or make minimal/non-brittle changes to the code.
A hooks directory could thus complement the aforementioned includes
directory - the semantics of this directory are obvious, which smells
good IMO.
* I would still prefer to handle binary_debian-installer/preseed.cfg
seperately - it think it is an acceptable courtesy to automatically
include it in the initrd when building a netboot image, otherwise we
surprise people moving to this image type.

This would probably great time for the EEEPC guys to ask what they want,
even if they don't have the manpower or priority to actually make use of it
right away.
