Ah, I missed this bug is about the installer, not the regular
(installed) system. Indeed spi-orion is not included in any udeb.

Maybe adding spi-orion to
debian/installer/modules/armel-marvell/mtd-modules is the right fix
here, but I don't understand enough about the generation of udebs to
judge if this is right.

Best regards
Uwe
