They are inside the debian-installer-images tarball that can be found here:

These tarballs are generated when you build the package "debian-installer"
which you can just do yourself - like any other package.
Please note that the netboot images above are built against an older kernel,
so installation will fail with the installer being unable to find the kernel
module packages. This is again an issue caused by Debian Ports' use of mini-DAK.
The images I created contain d-i packages that were built manually. But again,
you can just build fresh images yourself, just build the debian-installer
package. You just need to edit build/config/common and adjust the kernel
ABI version [1].
