Regular debs are unpacked far from any memory-critical paths (it's unpack, configure, unpack, configure), but I don't know enough about d-i to risk increasing the minimal memory requirement, which would be likely to happen if udebs switched to xz (unpacking takes ~10MB memory). So I didn't even look at any potential gains for udebs themselves, sorry for forgetting to mention that. -- // If you believe in so-called "intellectual property", please immediately // cease using counterfeit alphabets.
