Yes, I already thought about if changing the template would make sense here.
That would require
reopen 684128
retitle 684128 src:debian-installer: show ISO/IEC 60027-2 units (as well); show
valid suffixes
found 684128 226

Hi,
why is this bug still unfixed?
In bookworm d-i, entering 512 MiB seems to be using something
