As described in lowmem's README.
But AIUI the Xen case (which I indeed didn't test) requires bigger
values.
> Since they are significantly lower than those of section 2.5,
Yes, section 2.5 provides values for typical use. lowmem is about values
for working at all.

On amd64, Buster's text initrd is 19M only. The gtk initrd 45M.
> should they really be in the Installation Guide at all?
They happen to be what lowmem uses to determine whether to enter lowmem
mode or not, so they are supposed to be working.
