The debian netboot images have been updated and the whole thing has been 
simplified a little bit (i.e. all of the wonderful features you care about 
are broken now). Everything now runs the expert installer, because GUI 
installers make me break out in hives.

'debian' and 'debian-amd64' install wheezy (as do 'debian-wheezy' and 
'debian-wheezy-amd64'). Testing is also around with 'debian-jessie' and 
'debian-jessie-amd64'. The 'debian-testing' option and friends still work 
the way they used to, so who knows what they actually do.

You can update the 'debian' and 'debian-amd64' items just by changing the 
symlink.

Enjoy your slightly less out of date packages!
