It diver for debian-installer version (cf TftpDiVersion).

It can either be "osstest", which means "use $c{TftpDiVersion}" (i.e.
the same version as host installs use, updated with
mg-update-debian-installer) or it can be "daily", meaning the daily
images from [0] or a string which is any directory entry in [1], most
commonly "current" (and not many historical versions are kept there by
Debian).
