Yup.  It would.

I think it would work out of the box already.

Now, regarding building d-i as a normal package, I hit a bit of a
readblock because it fails while trying to download the files in the
nodes running in the future.
What d-i does it copying the url from the host's (or, well, the
chroot's) /etc/apt/sources.list, but it seems it doesn't also pick up an
eventual [check-valid-until=no] placed on the same line :\
