The same issue happens with daily builds, at least on some archs. Given
the absence of changes on the installer side, the timing, and the
expression of the bug, I'm pretty sure this is due to the Python bump
from 3.13 to 3.14 (which would also explain why my development
environment is behaving differently).

I haven't tracked down the exact reason for the failure (yet) though.

I'll be filing a serious bug report against depthcharge-tools shortly…
Unless the kernel team is happy to wait until that's resolved, I think
it would make sense to proceed with 7.0.14-1, and try again (to upload
d-i to unstable) in a few days, once 7.0.14-1 reaches testing and
depthcharge-tools is fixed.
Previous build logs looked like this:

In passing, one might be confused by the mix of Python traceback and
error issues: the failure of depthchargectl doesn't trigger the exit, so
gen-hd-image is attempted with parameters computed via shell-based maths
on… a file that hasn't been created by the previous command, hence the
stat/arithmetic expression errors.
