IMO it's not that easy to integrate any of the d-i components. Some of
them depend on some special d-i infrastructure (like special libraries
that are only used in d-i or r/w access to some directories), that are
not availabe during a FAI installation. Also, the whole d-i is running
in a ramdisk (everything is writeable), FAI is using a (mostly) read
only nfsroot.

We like to use partman from d-i for FAI in the future but even that
will be a lot of work, since it has some ugly (IMO not really needed)
dependencies. Let's have a look at the dependencies of
partman_63_i386.udeb

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libparted1.6-12 (>= 1.6.0),
libparted1.6-udeb, partman-partitioning, partman-target, archdetect,
harddrive-detection, di-utils-mapdevfs 

I hope you'll get the idea of the problems with d-i components.
