.bin maps to application/octet-stream so this should be fine.

I looked through dists/unstable/main/disks-i386/ for other files that
cause problems. Mime type returned can be checked by using
wget -S -O /dev/null http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-i386/current/linux

They are:
dists/testing/main/disks-i386/current/linux
dists/testing/main/disks-i386/current/{compact,idepci,reiserfs,udma100-ext3}/linux
dists/testing/main/disks-i386/current/{compact,idepci,reiserfs,udma100-ext3}/tftpboot.img

Any reason not to rename tftboot.img to tftboot.bin?
