Cool. I've got a patch to do this in my tree now, although I'm having
weird ISP routing problems to various bits of the net including
svn.debian.org so committing it will have to wait until that comes back.

Indeed; thank you for that.
As far as I know (though I have no administrative access here), it was
removed because you explicitly declared that you were no longer
interested in working on d-i:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2006/03/msg01075.html
(though I realise that was sent during a fraught time, and don't
particularly want to get involved in the argument in question; but
still, it's basically a resignation letter)
Which all reminds me, I need to set up miboot-enabled builds RSN ...
