It's worth noting that the latter's live CD (at least the current version, which will be released properly on Friday) is based on d-i; there's one extra package (casper) and a number of modifications to existing d-i components, basically just to add symlinks for hook scripts.

It'd be interesting to see how much of that could be made applicable to Debian.
