Time turns statements into lies, and now I reject my previous words.
After some research, and with I little of luck, the issue is fixed and included
in the attached patch. Also some other bugs are fixed there, and I've able to
perform a deployment completelly automated except for the harddisk issues,
which I do by hand because of the risk of deletion of existing partitions. The
procedure is not so straightforward as other imports, but it will be
improved soon.
1 - Normal import of a debian media
2 - Import of a proper debian mini.iso image, just to put kernel and
initrd in local fs
3 - Modify the distros created on step 1 to use the boot files from step 2
And now you can deploy your new distros
