Bug#481653: use relatime for default install
Package: debian-installer
Version: 20080517
It is rumored that Colin Watson is working on adding support for using
relatime to d-i. I couldn't find anything in the bts, so I am filing this
bug to track the progress of this support and namely using relatime for the
_default_install_.
Here is the info I've been able to find on the subject

I'm not sure if the improved relatime patch is in upstream/debian kernels
yet.
