When I wanted to test the woody installation on one of my machines (my
then to-be firewall, a 486 machine), memory requirements were too high
for that 8MB system, whereas it worked for potato.
I'd say it isn't anything spectacular that newer systems require more
RAM. D-i contains a /lot/ of new functionality and usability
improvements which will also benefit m68k users. That initial versions
required 32MB of RAM was a pain and made it hard for the m68k port, but
there have been reports of users successfully installing on (IIRC) 16MB
m68k systems, even if that installation took quite a while (as in, a few
days).
It isn't really fair to be angry at a bug which has long been fixed in
the mean time.
