Errr, why not just create fai/files/etc/source.list/<CLASS> file
and have that get installed at build time?  Specify within that file 
which Debian mirror/release you want your clients to use.

To point the clients at a different mirror to obtain the install-time 
packages from, you should be able to specify within $NFSROOT/etc/fai/
fai.conf file what you want for a source.list using the FAI_SOURCES_LIST
variable. No?
