As documented in the Debian installation manual, the actual error is
shown on TTY 4. It is about the mirror key having expired. You can
actually ignore that and just not use a mirror to install, you'll still
be able to install the base system.

That's the same issue, which can be fixed by just ignoring the
signature. I have now added the option to do so in the images.

And thus the problem remained unreported, thus unfixed, for months.
