Yes. :-(

In your (and my) case, I've added deb
http://ftp.oleane.net/pub/java-linux/debian woody non-free
in the FAI_SOURCES_LIST of fai.conf.

Indeed, there are so many packages in Debian than the probability to have
no error goes towards 0 and by a side effect it is impossible to have a
correct FAI... :-(

Right now I have an issue with cxref that needs emacs too early... :-(
