Your mirror seems not to be up to date or not completly in sync.
I have now problems createing a new nfsroot today with a brand new
mirror.
There are two locations whe you reference the mirror.
One is $FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP and the other is /etc/fai/sources/list. Seems
that the cfengine package is an older version. Here's my output from
make-fai-nfsroot:

.
.
Unpacking cfengine (from .../cfengine_1.6.5-1_i386.deb) ...
.

That's correct.

    > This is the server where make-fai-nfsroot gets its files from, right?
No this is where debootstrap get its files from. When adding
additional packages, the URIs from /etc/fai/sources.list are
used. Both need to be in sync, so the dependencies will match.

You do not need this.
