This effectively left us without useable full CD and DVD images as the 
weekly builds were affected as well.
After some deliberation, we have decided to change the weekly builds to 
use daily installer images and udebs from unstable, basically the same as 
is done for daily builds.

This means that full CD and DVD images are now available again from [1], 
for all architectures (except S/390). The now available images are 
virtually identical to what will be released as D-I RC2, so testing and 
installation reports [2] are most welcome. 

Thanks to Steve McIntyre for making the needed changes in the debian-cd 
setup.
