I'm aware of that problem and I hope to find a solution.

the component that uses the install=.... parameter is a complete other one 
than autoyast. autoyast itself does not care about the install=.... parameter 
and can't be enhanced the way you suggested (just have in mind, autoyast 
itself is getting loaded from the install=... source).
But anyway, even if that would work, it would also just be a workaround for 
the actual problem.

We will see. I hope we can fix that problem in the future somehow.
