What is the point of this page? As it says
The DebianInstaller/NetworkConsole is really neat. It allows you to
do some really cool stuff- like a completely remote full installation
of Debian.
It then goes on (to my mind) to convolute the process. "Why?" the page
asks. "Because I can" is the answer. Basically, it does not offer any
advantage over d-i's already built-in support for ssh. I suppose you do
learn something about how to re-master and re-build the installer. But
featuring Legacy GRUB isn't exactly heartening.

And a few other things.
