Relevant package versions in my build are shown below.
I traced down the cause of my problem. There are two problems actually.
a)
I traced the problem down to the fact that ethdetect calls hw-detect, but
hw-detect doesn't actually try to detect ethernet cards. It calls discover
with the device options 'scsi cdrom', but no 'ethernet', so it doesn't try to
detect ethernet cards. Patch for hw-detect is attached.
a) Bug #189054 has regressed.
From /var/log/messages on the running installer:
/bin/hw-detect: Detected load module 'eepro100' for 'Intel Corporation 82557
[Ethernet Pro 100]'
/bin/hw-detect: Trying to load module 'eepro100'
The module is, of course, called e100, so it tries and fails. Apparently the
discover-data (non-full version) is wrong. I am reopening the bug against
ethdetect for this reason.
