  - Drop fontconfig tweaks introduced in the Debian Installer Buster
  Alpha 1 release (See: 873462

  - Mimick libgcc1 handling, for libgcc-s1.
  - Clean up the list of fake packages.
  - Replace the mklibs library reduction pass with a hack, copying
  libgcc_s.so.[124] from the host filesystem for the time being.
  - Add explicit build-depends on fdisk on arm64, amd64 and i386 now
  that util-linux doesn't depend on it anymore.

  - Fix FTBFS with fakeroot by adjusting the /dev/console check (see
  940056

  versions 967546

  between 512 and 768M 893886, 951709
  - Import partman-auto/cap-ram support from Ubuntu, to allow
  capping RAM size as used for swap partition calculations
  949651, 950344 This allows us to cap the minimum size of
  swap partitions size to 1*CAP, and their maximum size to a
  maximum of 2 or 3*CAP depending on architecture. Default is set
  to 1024, thus capping swap partitions to between 1 and 3GB.
  * partman-efi:
  - Remount /cdrom read-write if it also happens to be used as
  /boot/efi 967918

  away a long time ago.

  rules were split out from 60-persistent-storage.rules in v220.

  filesystems on initial installation.
