Title:
  There is no documented way to UEFI/PXE netboot debian-installer in
  Jammy

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since there is no mini.iso available anymore, there does not seem to
  be a way to UEFI/PXE netboot debian-installer. This is a showstopper
  for our installations. We currently have about 1500 Desktop/Laptop
  computers, which we install over the network.

  The web page at
  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jammy/main/installer-
  amd64/current/legacy-images/ suggests that we should use server
  installer instead, but this is troublesome and inefficient with the
  huge server install image.

  We would prefer to continue using debian-installer, which easily
  allows us to install just few packages and then hand over the process
  to puppet in d-i preseed/late_command.

  Could you please reconsider releasing the mini.iso or provide some
  other way to netboot preseeded debian-installer.

  Thank you.
