Ok, patches have been merged now [1, 2]. We just need to wait for the
d-i team to release a new version of the base-installer package which
will include my changes. Then we should retry the netinst image which
shouldn't need to be updated at all since the new base-installer package
comes from the FTP archives.
I will also have to figure out how to make debian-installer use the
packages provided on the ISO image which would make it possible to
perform the installation with patched and unofficial packages
for sparc64.
