Dealing with aboot is easy; it's packaged in Debian, so pulling it from the archive when building CD images is straightforward. MILO, OTOH, is not packaged at all, and (if my knowledge is current) has a rather grotesque build process due to its use of a stripped-down Linux kernel as the second-stage bootloader. Getting it somewhere that it can be smoothly incorporated into the d-i builds is a challenge, one that's likely to only be overcome by someone with a vested interest in the MILO-dependent subarchs.
