I've discovered it while testing ubuntu, but will fail also for
debian. For example,
in debian "compliant" netboot images the kernel is called "linux",
which is not
accounted for in the distro_adder from HEAD

Those commits are on a different branch. The debian one only cares
about debian/ubuntu things

The page about "alternate" install states which git repository must be used
to enable the described method, and I see it a better way to prepare the
cobbler server to debian deploys. Once it is supported by HEAD, the initial
one must be replaced with the alternate.
In the meantime, I will check as soon as possible the procedure on the
DebianDeployment page, to ensure it needs no modification.

Ok, I'll investigate this probably early next week (more test writing
tomorrow, and Thanksgiving later). Thanks very much for working on this.
This is pretty much the last round of stuff we can get in for 1.4 due to
time constraints, but the door is open again for 1.6, so there will be room
to do more later too.
