Hello,
my opinion how to use d-i is this:

Create a program for the official 200X.X openmoko distribution, that:
     a) Create two partition on MicroSD, if the uSd is big 1Gb it must 
to make a Partition big 1Gb - [Ram], and another with dimension [Ram].
     b) Put in partition #2, this image:
         
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.0/armel/iso-cd/debian-500-armel-businesscard.iso
     c) Boot, and hoping that u-boot will be able to boot from partition #2
     d) After boot, log via SSH in FR (with a default address?) and make 
the installation via text.
     e) After installation the partition used to boot the businesscard 
iso can be trasformed in swap space

The debian-500-armel-businesscard.iso must to be modified to don't try 
to install grub, but instead the uboot, and to use openmoko kernel.

This is only my idea. I am not a guru, so it can be very wrong or 
unreliable.
