These received a refresh a few days ago:

I used the netboot tarball, from July 10. It's identical to the one for
sid, so I had thought there were no pending updates to d-i or its
dependencies.

But this same error would have occurred if I had used d-i from sid. When
you say "release," do you mean, from daily builds to unstable, rather
than unstable to testing?

This is good to hear (as well as the fact that everyone wants to keep an
MTA out of a minimal install). But how soon should a sid or squeeze d-i
image with the correct behavior become available?
