Currently we have in the guide for buster:

Install Type	| RAM (minimum) | RAM (recommended) | Hard Drive
No desktop	| 128 megabytes | 512 megabytes     | 2 gigabytes
With desktop	| 256 megabytes | 1 gigabyte        | 10 gigabytes



Should we increase the values for Buster?
(This is of course a difficult approach, since it does not value, which
architecture, desktop environment etc is used.)



I would propose to go with:

Install Type	| RAM (minimum) | RAM (recommended) | Hard Drive
No desktop	| 256 megabytes | 1 gigabyte        | 2 gigabytes
With desktop	| 768 megabytes | 2 gigabyte        | 10 gigabytes
