I had installed 3.2.14+experimental, but it seems that I did not
rebuild the nfsroot, so it was using the old version still, which
was probably something like 3.2.9.

But now I've got the next problem: Building the nfsroot with the
current version fails miserably:

Account $LOGUSER=fai already exists.
Make sure that all install clients can
log into this account without a password.
/home/fai/.ssh/known_hosts remained unchanged.
/home/fai/.ssh/authorized_keys created.
User account fai set up.
