I assume you installed Debian on Alpha using expert mode, correct?
Because this particular problem shows during expert install only, using
standard install should work. Furthermore, the release is not set on any
of the ports architectures, so the problem shows on all Ports architectures.
I just never bothered tracking down the problem since I just used the standard
installer. If your particular changes makes the installer work on Debian Ports
architectures in expert mode, I am happy to commit the change for all ports
architectures.
