I just debootstrapped wheezy onto an armel board with 64MB RAM and no swap. Everything worked fine with the single exception of packages that contain files compressed with .xz, which died for lack of RAM - there were were one or two. Enabling a few MB of swap made the second stage run smoothly to completion. M Ignore my -Os stupidity.
