Pulling in all experiences with d-i from the last years I wonder how 
complicated it was to have it running with sysv-init ifupdown(2?) using default 
selections to pull in  dbus, systemd and netplan dependencies?
There are still systems for example rPi zero where I gained more usability 
using init in combination with ifupdown.
But the main advantage of d-i especially on "experimental" hw such as new 
mobile machines still is to rescue things if something goes wrong with its 
minimal set of dependencies.
On the other hand having cloud init support would mean the path to "frozen" 
images that could be used directly on targeted hw would mean less overhead.
