That's really strange, since that iso doesn't contain "/dists/lenny".
So, I guess netboot and cdrom targeted d-i initrd images are
completely different.
Is that the case?
I guess the side effect of the way how netboot images are build is
what we saw with recent bug #494532
I suffered the same issue and wasn't able to install new machines over
PXE until package was re-added to the repository, that's why I thought
to stick with .iso based (consistent) image.
