I suppose something like this might do the trick?

    kibi@tokyo:~/debian-cd/debian-cd.git (kibi/easy)$ git diff
    diff --git a/tools/generate_di+k_list b/tools/generate_di+k_list
    index 2bee6440..9801b932 100755
    --- a/tools/generate_di+k_list
    +++ b/tools/generate_di+k_list
    @@ -305,6 +305,7 @@ grub-ieee1275
     powerpc-utils
     powerpc-ibm-utils
     linux-image-powerpc64le
    +linux-image-powerpc64le-64k
     #endif
     
     #ifdef ARCH_alpha

This might push other packages out of the netinst though.

Cc-ing debian-cd@, who is responsible for installation images.
