It would be nice to get that kind of problem as bug reports on the
directfb package as well.

It's enterely possible if it's causing problems right now and if the
d-i team agree with that, but wouls be way better to be able to fix
those crashes instead (you may want to remove the graphic modules
anyway to save space on the udeb, though).
