I'm sure we can cut it down without going this route. Booting one kernel
to install and switching off to another one for the installed system is
a cardinal sin in my eyes, since it doubles the chance that a kernel
won't work. I've seen it bite other distro's installers.

We're not using udebs for libraries. If you look at the build
dependancies in debian-installer/build/debian, they include
libdetect0-pic
