Package: cdebconf Severity: normalIn d-i in a lowmem mode install (no translations), cdebconf uses 5 mb of ram. With partman running the next largest memory usage, by parted_server is only 1 mb (numbers for mipsel arch). This is largely because it keeps all the question and template info in memory, which is very wasteful.
there are some problems in lowmem: - there is no trimtemplates on /var/lib/cdebconf/templates.dat- trimtemplates do not remove extended-descriptions and indices (i'm working on it)
- unable to boot netboot with 24Mb because initrd is too big i'm testing new features:- add udpkg --remove option to remove old configured packages during installation steps. So it's a sort of installation 'in one shot', you can not go back to change the language for example.
- i create two directories in main-menu: main-menu-pre.d and main-menu-post.d. And you can put scripts executed before and/or after a menu is configured. i think it will be useful for lowmem. this avoid to create lots of lowmem micro udebs between two menus.
