I am one of the developers behind TurnKey Linux, a new opensource
project that builds installable, Ubuntu based Live CD appliances that
serve specific roles:
http://www.turnkeylinux.org/
We needed to be able to install TurnKey Linux systems from a Live CD
type usage scenario (like Ubiquity), but without requiring an X/GUI
interface.
This was the impetus for the development of di-live, which glues
together, in Python, various bits and pieces of the debian-installer.
For further reference:

In the future, perhaps it would be a good idea to try and merge di-live
with Ubiquity. This would give Ubiquity the flexibility to run from
console without requiring a full blown GUI.
Cheers,
Liraz
