The debian installer in the netinst.iso image fails if there is a local
mirror for wheezy only.

This is how to repeat the problem:

First i made a mirror:

|  debmirror /storage/mirrors/debian/ \
    --verbose --host ftp.de.debian.org --method=http \
    --arch amd64 --dist wheezy,wheezy-proposed-updates \
    --section main,contrib,non-free,main/debian-installer \
    --rsync-extra doc,tools,trace --di-dist wheezy --nosource \
    --exclude-deb-section '^debug$' --i18n }
    --exclude '/Translation-.*\.bz2$' \
    --include '/Translation-de.*\.bz2$'|

Then i Installed apache and linked the files:

|  cd /var/www && ln -s /storage/mirrors/debian

I tested the mirror:

||  wget http://host/debian/dists/testing/Release \
    http://host/debian/dists/wheezy/Release|

And got the latest netinst.iso:

wget
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/wheezy_d-i/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso

Then i used VMWare Workstation to install. When asked for the location
of the mirror, i said http://host and /debian/.

First, the installer told me that the mirror doesn't contain squeeze and
suggested to go back and pick another mirror. Since i didn't want
squeeze anyway i just said no, i don't want to go back.

The next screen told me that i had to pick a debian variant. Only wheezy
was listed, wich i picked.

The next screen told me that a file could not be downloaded. In apaches
error.log i found this:

|[Mon Aug 20 16:47:44 2012] [error] [client 192.168.10.125] File does
not exist: /var/www/debian/dists/squeeze|

Thats it. I tried the latest netinst.iso and the beta1, both show the
same problem.
