I believe that the problem you have is that this images are old, and the
backup server only holds the files for the current images, not old ones, [...]
I got the .jigdo and .template file from gluck.debian.org and started 
downloading the image on the same day - and had the same problem as 
Benjamin. So I don't think that they were out of date.

Thanks for your help!

I think I agree. The only thing isolinux has the potential to buy us at
the moment is a large enough boot initrd to support SCSI cdroms without
using a driver floppy, and SCSI cdroms are rare, and we are not even
currently using that potential. We also have space to include 5 or 10 of
the most common SCSI controllers on the current initrd if we really want
to (519k free).

Maybe we could put isolinux on the *second* CD, with eventually an
initrd that supports SCSI cdroms.
