At the risk of repeating myself a normal deb that had a gui/text-ui to
create a preseed file might be the way to go.
This preseed-generator could then be installed in the livecd and could
append the generated preseed to the normal d-i initramfs and use
kexec to bootinto d-i ...
That way we have:
[1] one way to install debian: d-i
[2] a way to install from live-cd
[3] a gui to create preseed files (for free!)
Just a thought

Indeed. The d-i/g-i is far better and easier to maintain since it
won't differ too much from the "original" installer ;-)
The problematic thing that I see is it'll differ on the initial steps
of installation since you'll already have the kernel and kernel
modules loaded and it can require some modifications from d-i side to
support it well.
