Why not a livecd-debian-installer

Hi,
I think that is a good idea to incorporate debian-installer in the
live-cd as an alternate installation method. The usuario
cdrom-retriever.udeb that performs an debootstrap can be sustituted by
an live-retriever.udeb that simply copies the content of the .squashfs
file.
Later, if a good gtk-frontend for debconf is developted, it can be used
as graphical installer.
I think that is a good alternative to ubiquity, allows install the
system with only the livecd without load all the graphical system, and
its the way to join efforts with the d-i development.
And it's not so dificult to do that, I recently created my own
installer that uncompress an .tgz with a preinstalled/configured debian
and configures the network and a pair of propietary packets. (But now
I'm really busy, so I'll only comment the idea)
