Package: apt Version: 0.8.7 Severity: critical Tags: d-i During the build of Debian Installer we have the possibility to use localudebs so a build/localudebs directory scanned and a Packages file is generated for it.
In the case of an empty Packages file (gzipped) is used, APT fails to read it and in this case breaking the whole building process of installer. Downgrading apt to 0.8.5 I was able to build d-i file so a change done later then 0.8.5 has broken it.
