The word "official" means nothing in this context. Debian has made no
releases of the installer. The developers do, however, make autobuilds
of installer images for their own use. Sometimes they work, sometimes
they don't.

You got lucky. Jessie is a moving target. Images that worked December
may not work today due to the archive moving on. Images rebuilt today
may not work either, due to the archive moving on.

Are we just going to argue about this unceasingly or will you please
just take our word for it?

Thanks,
