Ah...that was a good hint the the "exclude" list.
Now I got it. In "jessie", the modules I - currently - need, have been put into
scsi-extra-modules....
[root@server debian-jessie]# head -2 README.txt
Debian GNU/Linux 8.2.0 "Jessie" - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1
20150906-11:13
[root@server debian-jessie]# find . -iname "scsi-*.udeb" -type f
./pool/main/l/linux/scsi-extra-modules-3.16.0-4-amd64-di_3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u3_amd64.udeb
[root@server debian-jessie]#
root@server# ar -xf
scsi-extra-modules-3.16.0-4-amd64-di_3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u3_amd64.udeb
data.tar.xz
root@server# tar -tJf data.tar.xz |grep mpt
./lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/
./lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas.ko
./lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/scsi/mpt2sas/
./lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/scsi/mpt2sas/mpt2sas.ko
./lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/message/fusion/mptspi.ko
./lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/message/fusion/mptscsih.ko
./lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/message/fusion/mptsas.ko
./lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/message/fusion/mptfc.ko
./lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.ko
root@server#
So....as these modules have been "moved" to scsi-modules (see
https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/News/2016/20160521), but
scsi-modules is "excluded" forever, this causes my error.
Isn't it?
Regards,
Robert

In fact, I should have thought a little longer. It's in the exclude
list as the cdrom version of the initramfs already has to include the
SCSI modules, to be able to find the CD. We dropped the separate udebs
to save space - no need for two copies on the CD.
