Did you try the one on people.d.o/~aph/current/ ?

No, they all have different root.bins:
<aph@auric:images-1.44> pwd
/home/aph/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44
<aph@auric:images-1.44> md5sum root.bin compact/root.bin idepci/root.bin
2b228775ec67c0a964f7979bbee2579c root.bin
984508d9768c5c09eb630b172306dd9f compact/root.bin
ed54cbb1331d9f26f1d402ae8c9bcfc3 idepci/root.bin
