Thanks, just committed this:
<dt>Network connectivity required during hd-media installs on several armel/armhf/arm64 platforms</dt>
<dd>On several armel/armhf/arm64 platforms, hd-media based installs
which:
<ul>
<li>use only the first CD/DVD and</li>
<li>have not been configured to use a network mirror</li>
</ul>
fail in the <q>make the system bootable</q> step. The reason is
that to make the system bootable, those platforms require the
<code>u-boot-tools</code> package, which is not available on the
first CD/DVD. If a network mirror has been configured during the
installation, the missing package is downloaded automatically and
the installation succeeds.

<b>Status:</b> A bug fix
for <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/780994";>#780994</a> (which
also affects Jessie RC 1) should be merged for Jessie RC 3.

with the following comments on #debian-www:
23:24:04 [ KiBi] so, dl → dd → ul → li looks a bit bleh, but seems to be 4.01 Strict compliant
23:24:34 [ KiBi] feel free to adjust to your liking if you find a better way
Also, same comment as in my previous mail:
Feel free to adjust if needs be, by committing to the cvs repository, or
by contacting debian-www people; I'll be offline for a few days shortly.
Mraw,
KiBi.
