Isn't this a rationale for d-i to use the stable builds of syslinux
present in testing (or potentially testing-proposed-updates) rather
than unstable?
It's a build-dependency in the (debian-installer) source package, so
will naturally be pulled from whichever suite that package is being
built in.
I assume it could instead be downloaded from a mirror during the build
process, similarly to udebs, but my understanding was that we were
trying to reduce the use of such mechanisms within the d-i build, rather
than adding more of them.
