I long thought it was that, but after adding a updatebase.LAST hook that 
cats the sources.list in the chroot I see:

Calling hook: updatebase.LAST
sources.list:

I have other packages in that repository and those are getting installed:


Untrusted packages could compromise your system's security.
You should only proceed with the installation if you are certain that
this is what you want to do.

Description: Linux kernel binary image for version 2.6.16.20-pure-amd64.
  This package contains the Linux kernel image for version 
2.6.16.20-pure-amd64,
  the corresponding System.map file, and the modules built by the
  packager.  It also contains scripts that try to ensure that the
  system is not left in a unbootable state after an update.
  .
  If you wish to update a bootdisk, or to use a bootloader to make
  installing and using the image easier, we suggest you install the latest
  fdutils (for formatting a floppy to be used as boot disk), and LILO, for a
  powerful bootloader. Of course, both these are optional.
  .
  Kernel image packages are generally produced using kernel-package,
  and it is suggested that you install that package if you wish to
  create a custom kernel from the sources. Please look at 
kernel-img.conf(5),
  and /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz  from the package 
kernel-package
  for details on how to tailor the  installation of this or any other kernel
  image package

Do you have any other ideas?

Thanks in advance,
