I really don't see how this could be a bug in syslinux-themes-debian
since that one isn't installed/pulled during a d-i build, yet the
images totally fail to boot when upgrading syslinux{,-common} from
2:4.06+dfsg-3 to 2:5.01+dfsg-1.
This is serious if not grave, breaking d-i builds. I'm currently
considering re-uploading syslinux version 4 to sid, since I see no
reasons for having version 5 there (especially so badly broken) when
we're trying to release wheezy. You have experimental for such things.
Please avoid breaking d-i, and avoid wasting our time.
KiBi.
