I was unable to find one... i really do not know, i did not find a policy for udebs so for lowmem, the algorithm do no work on priority level. > I'm also not completely sure of current behavior. > > In any case, any udeb that is a (indirect) dependeny of a udeb that will > be installed anyway should be excluded.
