Cool. I'd half forgotten about that, but it is documented.

Something like the "Note" here you mean?
http://www.debian.org/releases/sarge/i386/ch04s06.html.en
(Note that that's the Sarge version of the manual, so it's been in there
for some time :-)

IIRC atftp had problems with some architectures. We mention both, but we've
found that across the board there are the least issues with tftpd-hpa.

The first seems unnecessary. If you decide not to reassign it, then please
close the BR. Reassigning to installation-reports for now as there's no
actual issue in the installer.
