Ok - Following Milan's instructions, and trying with this image, and
(sorry for the delay!) finding some spare time here, I was finally
able to boot off a USB key. d-i is happily now getting the packages
from the network \o/
Still, I wonder why up to the last time I tried with the latest built
hd-media files it failed. I can, of course, continue checking whether
it works if there is any change derived from booting from the target
media.
