So it's known that 20100219.1 images boot from the CD with Nouveau,
but after installation it's VESA until one manually installs
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau which pulls the needed bits? Or I simply
tested during this transition phase and nouveau should also get
installed in the future images?

Great functionality anyway with a chipset that didn't yet have test
results in the wiki.
