The workaround I proposed can be accomplished in a simpler way. Just add the required d-i packages to the downloads file containing packages to be included (i.e. the file NAME.downloads) as follows: kernel-image-6.1.0-15-amd64-di efi-modules-6.1.0-15-amd64-di ext4-modules-6.1.0-15-amd64-di md-modules-6.1.0-15-amd64-di sata-modules-6.1.0-15-amd64-di nic-modules-6.1.0-15-amd64-di
This has the same effect.
