Default Include on first iso: m-a, build essential, kernel headers

It looks like the search you tried is just broken.

The search tool works but it is rather dumb and the instructions are misleading.
_i386 will only find packages with _i386 in the filename. So it will NOT find
arch all packages like module-assistant. There does not seem
to be a way to search for arch all packages within only images for a particular
architecture.

No, but *most* of them are built by linux-modules-extra-2.6 or
linux-modules-contrib-2.6.

(Even non-free modules be auto-built by linux-modules-nonfree-2.6, and
some firmware is packaged in firmware-nonfree. But those obviously must
not be included on official CDs.)

Nothing is ever a complete failure; it can always serve as a bad example.
