This is because various =y options (e.g. CONFIG_PCI_LABEL, CONFIG_JOLIET) now appear to select NLS... JOLIET has selected NLS since the beginning of git history (covering 3 Debian releases so far), though it shouldn't. It's a module anyhow or rather it is a boolean hidden behind ISO9660_FS which is tristate=m so I think its select turns into a =m not a y. CONFIG_PCI_LABEL seems to be the actual culprit and it is a hidden boolean so there's no real choice, other than disabling DMI and ACPI which is obviously a non-starter. Given how many things require NLS, though, we may as well explicitly make it built-in. ACK, I see you have made this change, thanks!

Re: [PATCH base-installer] Update i386 kernel selection for new flavours in wheezy
Quoting Ben Hutchings (b...@decadent.org.uk): The '686-bigmem' flavour will be renamed to '686-pae'; support both names. The '686' flavour will be removed, but we can still offer it if available. I uploaded b-i as part of a mass upload today, but will upload again so that this important change is already supported in daily builds. Thanks for your patch (which I applied blindly, I have to admit!). signature.asc Description: Digital signature
