Well, it is not a problem with nbd-client-udeb, it is a problem with the 
lack of it in Debian installer. And I am not quite sure if this is a bug 
or just an unimplemented functionality. Debian installer do not have a 
fully-fledged interface for configuring NBD, so this might be avoided 
for a reason, like not giving people something that might/does not work.

My point is that I would like that it progressed a bit further so that, 
at least, using the console of the installation system, nbd device could 
be configured and used. The pieces I did proves that it does not require 
much (esp. that my changes could be just used to improve at least initrd 
in this matter; only adding nbd-client to the installer remains).

So, I am not sure if reporting a bug is a right place. There is no 
particular package that I can point to...
