Yup. Obviously, having a cmd-line http/ftp fetcher would be very nice
on the recue disk -- say, suppose that we allowed a http fetch to a
"quick install" configuration file, which maybe could be used to skip
the dbootstrap run or whatever.

I think a 1 or 2k savings wouldn't be worth forking. Is it a C
program? Compiling with -Os can help sometimes.
Please contact the Debian maintainer and mention that we're
considering adding it to the rescue disk, and whether he has idea,
and/or whether he's willing to make sizing reduction changes in order
to get the size smaller...
