I did not realize this wget being less forgiving than woody's.
Sorry!
The real reason for the failure is a zero-byte resolv.conf.
So for some reason the DHCP client only gets part of the
information (IP, router). A few days ago with the netboot
image from p.d.o/~jbailey/d-i/sparc/daily/sparc32/netboot/
it worked flawlessly ( no, I did not change my DHCP setup).
'echo nameserver 192.168.200.4 >>/etc/resolv.conf' solved
the problem temporarily. But then it tries to load the
wrong kernel (2.4.24-sparc64-di), and I am lost.
