Thanks, quick summary from the #ubuntu-devel IRC discussion: the
netboot installer is a minimal image (not server specific), not
intended to have every package installed in it. The premise is,
presuming successful netboot in the first place, you then can install
whatever packages you need, either via preseed or via manual
selection.

Colin Watson pointed out the d-i environment has an ethtool-lite, and
perhaps the right choice is to extend the functionality of that tool
to support whatever is needed from ethtool itself, rather than adding
ethtool to the d-i environment.
