Should have been
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-amd64/current/images/SHA256SUMS

Rewording, just to ensure that I'm clear enough (sorry about that)!

The checksum of SHA256SUMS is not to be found in the InRelease file.

Small shell script to show what I'm trying to say:

#!/bin/sh

checksum_of_checksum_file=$(sha256sum SHA256SUMS)
checksum_in_release_file=$(awk -v checksum=$checksum
'/main\/installer-amd64\/current\/images\/SHA256SUMS/' InRelease)

echo $checksum_of_checksum_file $checksum_in_release_file
