The installation fails after 'download-installer' succeeded: "WARNNG **: no packages matching running kernel 5.9.0-4-amd64 in archive" Since we use Foreman for automatic installation, this bug blocks testing of debian bullseye in our environment. Is it possible to automatically create the netboot installer whenever a new kernel is available? Thanks!
