Hi, as I wrote on previous post, the debian team has chosen to use Directfb for developing the graphical frontend of the installer; I just wanted to let you know the status of things. A lot of work has been done in the last few weeks in order to set up a build infrastucture which will be used to integrate a graphical version of the installer in the main line of developement of the d-i, and which will "produce" automatic daily builds.
The infrastucture has been done and brought already good results at least for the i386 architecture; powerpc is being worked on and hopefully other ports will follow soon. ATM we have all the official debian packages (udebs) needed to build the graphical installer, plus a couple of unofficial tarballs containing some fonts. The libraries we use are very outdated (gtk+-directfb_2.0.9), but they do work and no other versions have been packaged so far, so it's best to stick with official stuff.
