I think my problem is very likely the same as:
 - https://bugs.debian.org/870185

And I tried Ben's recommendation to make armel kernel smaller,
which I pushed to branch rosh/strip_armel on alioth, confirmed it worked
well for 4.10.7-1~exp1 (by cherry-pick) on my kirkwood based Linkstation.

I know it's better to confirm the d-i part, but I don't have much time before
debconf..
