network-console images are the ones which run the installer as a ssh server for headless systems. netboot is just the regular installer which assumes a console and/or serial port. > Q1-a.

It sounds like it is headless in which case network-console is probably the one you want. > Q1-b. Is there any tutorial or a checklist how to port d-i to a new > platform? Not that I know of, other than git log on the relevant components to see what the last guy did I guess. For headless you might also be interested in oldsys-preseed which tries to extract things like network cfg from the factory firmware of various platforms for the installer to use (makes it a bit easier to find the headless device on your network etc). I don't know about the authorized keys stuff you are trying to do, sorry. Ian.
