Frans, ...

I really would like to understand what is the rationale behind this. Adding a
.udeb into the archive, if it is not part of the image, and not loaded by d-i,
can hardly have any influence on d-i.

As far as i understand the only ones who will affect d-i are those in the
image, as well as those who are who are of a certain priority.

What would be the problem in having more .udebs in the archive ? a slight
increase of the Packages file, but i can't see any other harm.

I tagged the bug d-i, i think, which should have been enough to attract your
attention. At least this is how i understood the issue.

Or don't you monitor d-i tagged bugs anymore ?
