Aarrgh! Hate needing to correct myself.
Netboot images should be fine, because they will automatically take udebs
from Lenny [1]. So the only images that should be broken are the daily
built Squeeze CD images and the weekly built CD images. And as mentioned
before that is expected, not the result of a bug.
[1] Unless you'd boot with mirror/udeb/suite=testing, but that would be
user error.
