These packages are not available in wheezy any more, so I could not
test it with FAI 4.1 and wheezy,

I do not understand this. What do you mean by top-lebel package?
fai-mirror uses the file /srv/fai/nfsrrot..../var/tmp/base-pkgs.lis
which is a list of all packages installed by deboostrap. Using this
list, it can download these packages and include them into the
partital mirror.

BTW, in FAI 4.x fai-mirror now uses reprepro instead of apt-move,
which may solve your problem.
