I believe there are several other cases, specially among test teams and some cloud deployments, where they download an ISO and use it as a network install mirror, in order to save network bandwidth / install time.

However, they need to get the vmlinux/initrd from ports.ubuntu.com/netboot (with the network modules), and that quickly becomes out-of-sync with the kernel modules udeb packages from the ISO, rendering it unuseful.

If the change is not too much trouble, it would be really great to have this working.
