Wild guess, side effect of the following commit (src:debian-installer)? | commit d14db6ad4079b3e4d996f67ffd36292b18e6b15b | Author: Samuel Thibault <samuel.thiba...@ens-lyon.org> | Date: Tue Sep 15 01:31:14 2015 +0200 | | Restore actually-used non-gtk speech synthesis entries | | - Otherwise netboot/gtk/mini.iso (which is gtk only) does not contain the | speech entry. | - Avoid including them on non-gtk netboot image, though. https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/debian-installer.git/commit/?id=d14db6ad4079b3e4d996f67ffd36292b18e6b15b (Adding youpi to the loop accordingly.)
