There are two image sers, sarge_d-i, which is built with sarge .udebs, and sid_d-i, which is built with sid .udebs. In truth these are two separate sets of .udebs, since moving between them i done manually, and not with the testing scripts like the rest of the .debs. sarge_d-i thus held the beta, and lately the tc1, while sid_d-i held the developement tree. Since tc1 is now being abandoned in favor of doing a new snapshot of what is currently in unstable, that is sid_d-i, the daily builds have been moved from pointing to sarge_d-i to pointing to sid_d-i a few days ago. Furthermore, the cdrom d-i install only the sarge set of .debs, but with the netboot ones, you get a choice of installing either the sarge or sid .debs (or woody, but that is probably irremediably broken right now). I never tested, but maybe the business card isos, since they hold all the .udebs, allow also to chose between sid and sarge. Friendly, Sven Luther
