Neither are "bad" just out of date. As soon as we had a real installer 
everyone switched over to using that. They were left there for historical 
reasons.

I have moved them to an old directory to prevent confusion. No one should be 
using these any more. If, for some good reason, you can't use the normal 
installer process then I think the proper way to generate base tarballs now is 
to use the debootstrap tool. If there's enough demand then we could generate 
them and put them on the ftp site again.
