It changes with the release, and matches the other bits of the
installer (vmlinuz, initrd.gz), so not really...

It's in the cdrom directory on the mirrors in the cdrom directory, but
debmirror etc. won't pick it up. Look at ftp.uk.d.o:

  http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-amd64/current/images/cdrom/

and you'll see it there.
