Installing debian using custom kernel and standard d-i initrd is
possible:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Arm/OtherPlatforms
Notice that d-i does not support installing to NAND and does not support
jffs2 filesystem at the moment, so this is mostly usefull on installing
to a MMC/SD compatible card or USB connected mass storage device.
