Public bug reported:

It would be nice to have a way to estimate memory in the kdump
environment - not always the default crashkernel reservation fulfill
users' requirements, specially in big servers with huge memory and
multiple I/O devices.

Taking CPUs/RAM/devices into account and using early boot memory information + 
heuristic, it's possible to infer how much memory is going to be needed by 
kdump - see proposal [0].
This LP is to track the Debian progress of the issue and the future port to 
Ubuntu kdump packages.
