It is just a copy of one of the daily builds that was elevated to alpha 
status.

With the switch to 2.6.14, the i386 alpha (and daily) images are currently 
broken as 2.6.12 kernel udebs are no longer available in unstable.
We have two options:
- rebuild the alpha from etch using 2.6.12, and make sure that additional
  udebs will also be loaded from etch
- rebuild the alpha from unstable using 2.6.14 and udev

Note that the fact that the alpha release is a mini iso means that the 
risk of breakage is fairly large anyway and any release will not have a 
very long life.
