Identical in what sense?

BTW, just found out that there's a "stretch/koeln" as well. Trying to rebuild the nfsroot
(had to replace "libpsl0-" with "libpsl5-" in /etc/fai-stretch/NFSROOT, due to a recent transition;
in addition to removing "libicu52-") - seems to succeed.

Also, one may want to add [trusted=yes] to the fai-project.org apt line... (is this already in 
the manual?)
