Please don't remove udebs too quickly. Even if ttf-dejavu-udeb isn't listed as a build dependency of the debian-installer source package, it's needed there during the build. This removal is therefore making debian-installer FTBFS. It would be great to check with debian-boot@ before handling such RM requests (removal of udeb-producing packages). We would have had a chance to switch to the “new” package. Thanks for considering. KiBi.
