I am just setting up an up-to-date test environment to reproduce the
error.  Just to make sure:  Did you bind mount the packaged installer
images as decribed in the README [1]:

…
   Using packaged debian-installer images
   --------------------------------------
       You can also use the images provided by the
       debian-installer-*-netboot-* packages.
   
       1. Install the needed debian-installer-*-netboot-* packages.
       2. Bind mount or copy '/usr/lib/debian-installer/' to your
          tftp root directory:
   
            mount --bind /usr/lib/debian-installer/ $TFTP_ROOT/d-i/n-pkg/
   
          To make this persistent, add the following line to '/etc/fstab':
   
            /usr/lib/debian-installer/  $TFTP_ROOT/d-i/n-pkg/  none  bind  0  0
   
       3. Add the corresponding menu entries to the boot menu by running:
   
            di-netboot-assistant -v rebuild-menu

Best regards,

  Andi
