Ok, patches have been merged now [1, 2]. We just need to wait for the d-i team to release a new version of the base-installer package which will include my changes. Then we should retry the netinst image which shouldn't need to be updated at all since the new base-installer package comes from the FTP archives. I will also have to figure out how to make debian-installer use the packages provided on the ISO image which would make it possible to perform the installation with patched and unofficial packages for sparc64.
