eewww, huge.

I'd say it doesn't make sense to make it available as an udeb.  Random
software which can be used to install a system shouldn't be udebized
as some silver bullet.  If it integrates well with the rest of the
debian-installer framework, it could be udebized, but at 4.5 megs,
having a small live iso somewhere on people.d.o would most likely be
better.
