Funny you should use d-i as an example. I suggest you read some of
the (numerous) emails written by Sven Luther during the last six
months. I don't know whether he has a benefactor or not, I have no
reason to assume his work on d-i was (or wasn't) bad since it seems to
focus mostly on an architecture I have no contact with, but apparently
it's not going to end in Debian, or so he oh-so-repeatedly told us.
