base-installer (1.92) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
+ [ Joey Hess ]
* Call base-installer.d hooks after running debootstrap, for consistency
with live-installer. (So, pre_install_hooks is run after bootstrap, but
before anything is installed with apt. So the name still makes a kind
of sense, if you squint..)

+ * i386: If the installer is running a -bigmem kernel and the processors
+ support PAE then select a -bigmem kernel for installation. For
