Hello

I don't quite know how the situation was 12 years ago, but since 
isc-dhcp-server is now abandoned upstream: certainly worth it. 
Moreover, if you use network-manager and plan to install using a shared 
connection, with the built-in dnsmasq, it's as easy as dropping these 
lines in /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq-shared.d/:

 dhcp-boot=debian-installer/amd64/bootnetx64.efi
 enable-tftp
 tftp-root=/var/tftp/

... the simplicity of which is hard to beat.  I'll try to prepare a 
merge request in Salsa with this.
