Actually I didn't pay much attention to what the program does, I
stumbled upon it when trying to find small packages to test building
infra and that was it. At the end of the tests I was submitting these
requests for several of the packaes.
Being part of debian-installer I imagined that it's needed in some
circumstances even if it's a tiny --but perhaps important-- part...
there's not much info to go by in the descriptions, and I'm not very
familiar with the installer other than as a user.
So dunno, I think that you're in a better position to decide whether
it's needed or not, I'm happy if you prefer to close this report.
Cheers!
