This seems like a bug in d-i, because read-edid is not available for
anything else than x86:
"
get-edid uses real-mode x86 instructions to communicate with the video
hardware; therefore, it is usable only by root, and this package is only
available for the i386 architecture.
"
I put debian-boot in copy.
