The netboot kernel evolves/changes versions with the kernel package updates.
It causes a problem w/ the netboot installation from an GA ISO repository because the installer requires the kernel modules udebs at the same version of the running kernel.
If the netboot kernel is from an updated package, it eventually will have a different version number than the udebs at the ISO, and thus the netboot from ISO install will fail.
The meantime (long) workaround for that is described in LP bug 1407714 comment #10,
which is to create a fake trusty-updates repository with the udebs for the netboot kernel version, so the installer can find those, and proceed normally.
