Sorry, I was not clear enough.

I wonder why is not possible include the curses-based installer. It's 
only necesary build a new installer (the udeb package) for debian 
installer that dumps the live CD content into the target fs.

In space it suposses only add a new initrd image smaller than 5MB. 
About the shortcut, it can be called initrd_d-i.gz, and gfxboot can 
load it setting initrd=initrd_d-i.gz in the command line.
