Maybe we could enable it on arches where it is stable and has some benefit, and leave it off for now on those arches where it is known to cause problems.
Well the thing that make me not sure about doing that is that it has worked on ia64 and s390, and now it does not work and I don't understand why.
Also thge same happened on sparc for 2.4. That would also say we can't make sure we will still be able to produce smaller udeb for a given arch for a new version of the glibc. That may be very bad if d-i start to use this new space, and we later say that it's not possible to use -Os.
That said, it would be possible to do that for some arch only. Which architectures really need some more space?
