Hmm, you stated that wireless-regdb-udeb should be included in most installer builds now. That goes down to commit https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debian-installer/-/commit/2b615f42bd7745ac9add0a36b1630812f95840fb which adds wireless-regdb-udeb to netboot images. Yes, that works fine, using a netboot image, I am NOT asked to provide firmware for regulatory.db file, because it's already included in the d-i image. However, that's only true for netboot images! My wireless card (on an IBM Thinkpad T60) is also usable with DVD/CD netinst images (so related kernel modules seem to be included in those images; I have explicitly tested that with said images on that T60), so probably wireless-regdb-udeb should just be added to all Linux d-i images?
