What type of help would you need?

There isn't. But it's actually possible to build d-i installation images yourself,
see this guide which goes through the procedure for hppa [1].

Note: This guide has one flaw: At one point it sets DI_DIR to:

        DI_DIR="/extra/deller/DEBIAN_INSTALLER/debian-installer/installer/build/tmp/netboot"

This should, however, be:

        DI_DIR="/extra/deller/DEBIAN_INSTALLER/debian-installer/installer/build/tmp/cdrom"

I'm planning to build updated powerpc installation images in the near future the same
way I created them for sparc64 [2]. I wished I had more time for these things.
