Right. Check the tarball (!) produced by building src:debian-installer; that's what gets installed in installer-$arch directories in the archive; then consumed by debian-cd to produce “full-blown” installation images. (You might have seen some special casing in dak; that's us!) Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois (k...@debian.org) <https://debamax.com/> D-I release manager -- Release team member -- Freelance Consultant
