My understanding is that these were recently updated to fix the libblkid
issue (see bug #587570), which had previously made the installer
unusable. I guess they just re-built it from the same source as alpha1,
modulo that one bit.

So if I had used the one from
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/
it would have worked? But it's identical to the one for squeeze...

Okay, so the weeklies come from testing, and the dailies from unstable.
But the d-i images that are themselves in unstable and testing, those
are formal, infrequently-updated "releases?"

Okay, though the netboot/USB/etc. downloads just go to the same place in
the repositories where I was looking.
