Perhaps this bug is filed under the incorrect package, however, I still believe this to be a bug as it is impossible to install in a detached environment using the distributed ISO. Neither the udeb's provided by the ISO or the netboot initrd provide the scsi_transport_spi module which is needed to install in an ESX environment.
Mirroring the upstream repo is undesirable as I need a static set of package versions. I should be able to serve the mounted ISO to PXE install, but due to this missing module I am unable to do so. As far as I see, the answer is to either add the module to the initrd or add the udeb to the ISO. Adding to the ISO seems more ideal to me as it keeps the size of the initrd down.
