I'm very sorry to respond so late. I've been busy trying to stop the
war.
I'll take a look at your udebs soon. I think we have all we need
now. Please take a look at the posting I made on debian-boot yesterday
titled a graphical frontend for debian-installer for some new
requirements for these
Hi Michael,
Am sorry for delay in replying.
Yes, I have created atk udeb. You can found related files here :

This single udeb contains the shared libraries and the common files which the
runtime libraries need (this is two seperate package in debian
We still need to have an eye on the space that is occupied on the
ramdisk. The udebs do not contain any unneeded modules or
documentation and in some cases they use other compile options then
their deb counterparts.
They should not be deb/udeb counterparts that are
binary-incompatible.

Ok, let me see if I got that right:

Since anna only handles udebs and the initial ramdisk is limited there

I would personally rather have anna only bootstrap enough so that
apt works, than trying to have packages

I'm having doubts on whether we really need udebs for them.
I want some clarification on this point.

Our general plan at this point is that the user will begin the
install in text mode and then have the option to select another
frontend (the frontend chooser isn't even begun yet, I don't
think). Once it is chosen, the necessary udebs will be
