Bug#705118: debian-installer: FTBFS on armhf: Unable to locate package nic-modules-3.2.0-4-mx5-di

[Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org>]

Source: debian-installer
Version: 20130409
Severity: serious
Justification: FTBFS

Hi folks,

I unfortunately missed or forgot about those changes on the kernel side:
|    * [armhf/mx5] udeb: Add missing storage drivers (Closes: #697128)
|      - Add ata-modules including libata, pata-modules including pata_imx,
|        sata-modules including ahci_platform
|      - Add sdhci-esdhc-imx to mmc-modules
|      - Add mtd-modules including mtd, mtdblock and m25p80
|    * [armhf] udeb: Fix network driver selection
|      - [armhf/mx5] Remove nic-modules
|      - [armhf/vexpress] Add usb-modules
|      - Add standard set of USB drivers to nic-usb-modules
|      - Add nic-wireless-modules

(See: http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/linux/news/20130225T050455Z.html)

Meaning d-i now FTBFS with:
| E: Unable to locate package nic-modules-3.2.0-4-mx5-di
| E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'nic-modules-3.2.0-4-mx5-di'

(See: https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=debian-installer&suite=sid)

Patches (preferably tested ;)) against src:debian-installer to update
package lists for armhf/{mx5,vexpress} are more than welcome. Also,
(I know I'm asking a lot), “fast is good”.

Thanks already.

Mraw,
