Bug#1005944: debian-installer: netboot.tar.gz for multi-arch (amd64/i386)

Package: debian-installer Severity: wishlist -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 It would highly useful for the x86 netboot tarball to be multi-arch, similar to what debian-11.2.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso does i.e. 64-bit by default, but 32-bit available via a submenu. Thanks! Marti
