[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#516113: base: too much memory consumption

[Olaf Zaplinski]

Package: base
Severity: normal

I am running a X workstation (amd64) with 512 MB RAM. Whenever I install or upgrade paclages using dselect, swap consumption goes up, right now to 264 MB when I installed xemacs.
So please remove debugging symbols from the binaries or do whatever it takes to make Lenny usable on "smaller" systems.
