Well, the solution would be to force add the miboot stuff to the debian-installer svn tree, and use it to build. This would make debian-installer contrib/non-free though, which is why i asked for debain-legal help. Note that one solution for this would be to make an exception for such bootloader stuff, and have them in the debian-installer SVN, in a boot-loader directory or something, and use them directly. This will not break autobuild, and everything would be fine, except when you upload said stuff to main.
