While this is where I get a working netboot file, I think it is not an
ideal solution, please let me explain

In my case, I have a cronjob that looks for updated files every day,
while I don't need the very latest daily build, just an
(almost/testing) reliable network install for testing.
Downloading from ftp.debian.org will download a new installer every few
weeks, while downloading from daily-builds will download every day. And
downloading everyday seems to me a waste of resources on both sides.

What I mean with this, is that if Debian is distributing a file, it
should either work or point to a working file. Right now we are
distributing a non-working file on:

https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-{ArchHere}/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz

I am pretty sure I am not the only one that needs to change from time
to time from deb.debian.org to d-i.debian.org because of this, or keeps
getting unused daily downloads, or just thinking that it will not work
at all, by not finding the daily builds.

Again, I don't know if this is some kind of bug or issue to be
resolved, just that I feel that it is not working right, as it is right
now, and wanted to put it to the team's consideration.


Thanks again!
