It's quite probable my spec file is nonsence, but even in these cases I would 
expect an error message rather then a backtrace.

While your spec file really shouldn't have keys with empty values, that is 
unrelated. The netboot target is in desperate need of repair. It's been 
neglected for a long time. Patches are welcome.
