I just had another thought on this: If you want, you can actually go ahead and create a Debian bitmap for us to be integrated into debian-cd, similar to what GRUB does for the rescue CD. The bitmap needs to go into the chrp-boot script [1] which is used during build. The current bitmap just seems to be a plain white/black block but if you have look at the default script [2] that GRUB uses for the rescue CD generated with grub-mkrescue, you see there is actually a nice GNU logo visible. So, if anyone wants to put a Debian Swirl in there, I'm happy to include it. And since I can already confirm that the logo shows in the selection menu of my iBook G4 when booting the rescue CD from [3], we can be sure the Debian Swirl would work, too.
