Sorry, I'm frequently entering and leaving that sid chroot on that wheezy host and failing to remember passing ack-grep the -a flag when I'm with the wheezy version of it, so I missed the file responsible for the behaviour you're reporting: debian/templates-arch (base-installer). Browse online: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/base-installer.git/tree/debian/templates-arch Adding -arm@ and -boot@ for possible comments/insight. Mraw, KiBi.
