My branch has lists of udebs to be included on CDs. At the moment
thats pretty much just a list of all udebs with some minor changes and
special cases for archs.

My goal is to make those lists just include the major udebs and pull
in dependencies that are not already on previous mediums. Not quite
sure how to do it esspecially with floppies but thats my goal.

The list of udebs for the 20MB (just d-i) and 50MB (d-i + base) images
I used are at:
http://cvs.debian.org/debian-installer/build/pkg-lists/udeb-all/?only_with_tag=mrvn

They are basically all udebs that are installable. You can remove any
udeb thats already on the initrd (or the common packages from all
relevant initrds). For my branch (might be one or two packages
different from main branch) its initrd-base and initrd-udeb:

http://cvs.debian.org/debian-installer/build/pkg-lists/initrd-base/?only_with_tag=mrvn
http://cvs.debian.org/debian-installer/build/pkg-lists/initrd-udebs/?only_with_tag=mrvn

The main branch has just one initrd:

http://cvs.debian.org/debian-installer/build/pkg-lists/cdrom/

MfG
        Goswin

PS: If you include floppy images check against the floppy initrd too.
PPS: file-retriver and pcmcia-udeb udebs are removed from archive, scratch them.
