We should be doing this soon, indeed.

The following diff would be mostly what's needed:

--- a/debian/rules
+++ b/debian/rules
@@ -1,12 +1,12 @@
 #!/usr/bin/make -f
 
-export MAJOR_VERSION=7.0

 export MIRROR=http://http.debian.net/debian
 export VERSION=$(shell dpkg-parsechangelog | sed -n 's/^Version: //p')
 
 # Don't forget to recreate debian/control after editing these lines: $

I'm having currently two problems with this:

* http.debian.net redirection for installer-arm64; aka  accessing
  "debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-arm64/20141002/images/SHA256SUMS"
  through http.debian.net sometimes fails, bug is there :
  https://github.com/rgeissert/http-redirector/issues/54
  This is easily circumvented by using a fixed mirror.
* kfreebsd-amd64's images fetching logic fails because there is no un-
  numbered /netboot/ directory under which we could automagically take
  "netboot.tar.gz" as for other architectures. I think this should be
  fixed in the installer through providing a symlink towards the default
  version but can't really find where this should go.

Cheers,
OdyX
