It *has* been prepared for all architectures. It just needs to have its
source and corresponding install-doc package moved into woody to go with
all the disks-* directories that are there already without corresponding
source (which is a bug).

This is not a matter of upgrading the boot disk images used in woody.
It's a matter of syncing up the source used to build the already-working
images. It would be much better if this could happen without the
necessity for 3.0.24 or whatever, since there really should be no need
to get all architectures to rebuild boot-floppies just to tweak woody's
Packages and Sources files.
