It's not clear to me if you intend for the package to include the whole debian-installer source tree, or just the build directory. This is the kind of thing the build directory is there for, anyway. Note that debian-installer/build/debian/control currently calls the package build-installer, and the package has never been uploaded as such because it isn't really autobuildable yet. But that is the plan indeed. It will really be up to the ftp team what form they want the images uploaded in. They may prefer a simple tarball that will be installed byhand. It will surely require either byhand processing or additional code on the ftp archive side of things, and it would be good if these builds could be fired off on a daily or weekly basis eventually without overloading the ftp maintainers. -- see shy jo
