Uh, no. It's build/pkg-lists/netboot/* that doesn't include bterm (see Joey
Hess' message to debian-boot one week ago.)
I don't know if there's any package for the build system. I'd go for
debian-installer, in doubt.

I agree, please include this in your bug report. Choosing the netboot
image and having to use floppies anyway sucks. FWIW, i'm using bterm and
nic-extra-modules on homemade netboot images and they work perfectly.
