Bug#367515: Bug#749991: debian-installer: Wrong kernel in debian-installer package



Bugreport against kernel version mismatch, when using outdated or broken 
netboot images:


Since it's unlikely that we completely prevent this issue to happen, maybe we 
could at least change the error message, saying that the user should try 
another / a newer installation image?
(as already suggested in bug#367515)

It would be a good time for such template changing now...
Patch attached.

  If you're installing from a mirror, you can work around this problem by
- choosing to install a different version of Debian. The install will probably
- fail to work if you continue without kernel modules.
