Err, the above comment makes no sense, FWIW. ISO build and debian-
installer builds are not the same thing. In fact, the d-i on a new CD
would still be the old one from days ago, even though the ISO would be
new.
netbooting, by its very nature, pulls files directly from the archive,
so the ISO is effectively worthless, and I'm not sure why you'd want to
download something that's CD-sized when you only intend to use a few MB
from it.
Anyhow, the reason to keep the powerpc ISO slim is fairly obvious, it
contains several kernel flavours (which add up fast), so we try not to
bloat it out too much.
The ppc64el ISO, however, having only one flavour, could probably have
the netboot initrd added to it in the same fashion as we do for amd64.
I'll look into that at some point.
Unless someone can give me a solid reason otherwise, however, I'm going
to make this a wishlist priority, as the netboot kernel/initrd are
published elsewhere (and those are exactly the same files that would be
on the CD, feel free to validate that claim on amd64), so it's merely a
convenience(?) to also let you download a whole CD to get them.
