Why is it an equal sign for other options, but not for this one?

No, because I prefer to limit the number of binary downloads outside
Debian's repo.
So instead I'm writing my own build script based on
https://github.com/niklasf/build-raspbian-image

Yes.

Is there anything in the preview image that is not available in a Debian
package in the official repos?

The version in Debian's repos is 1.20161123-2, and I can't find
1.20170317-3 anywhere
(https://packages.debian.org/experimental/raspi3-firmware is a 404).

However, bootcode.bin, fixup*.dat, and start*.elf are installed using
https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update after raspi3-firmware, so the issue
may come from them being are newer than those in raspi3-firmware.

I will try soon to build an image without rpi-update and tell you what
happens.
