The fact that udebs are in pool does not mean they are available when 
building for Etch. See the Packages file in main/debian-installer.

Note that the etchnhalf images, which are the only ones that use 2.6.26, 
are *not* etch D-I images! They are Lenny D-I images.

See http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/debian-installer/etchnhalf:
    For new installations of etch-and-a-half the current release of Debian
    Installer for lenny is used, with minor changes for compatibility with
    etch.

See also the /etc/lsb-release file of an etchnhalf image.

The Etch installer is not guaranteed to work correctly with a .26 kernel!

Cheers,
FJP
