I've been hesitant to do this for two reasons. One is that it's a fair chunk of work. The other is that d-i hasn't really struct me as being particularly unbuggy and stable (cf the recent NEW uploads and changed shlibs); and adding it to testing in any useful way means blocking other packages due to d-i bugs (such as dependency errors or RC bugs), which I'm loathe to do especially when there're already plenty of other blockages in testing. > To achieve this, the only thing to be done seems to adjust the testing > scripts to process udebs as well.

If it is possible, that's cool. Either way, you'll need to work out how to automate the builds yourselves, and tell everyone else.
