Not exactly. When we're building the cdimage we need to "blacklist"
the useless udebs to make CD images smaller and like. So there're some
consequencies with d-i, yes.

I disagreed that we need to "coordenate" the feature requesting with
the d-i team but I agree that usually it should be done by the mailing
list.
I personally avoid to open bugs when I can contact the team directly
and leave the bug reporting resource for people that doesn't know the
team.
But I don't see anything wrong about opening a bug for check if
there's something that might be useful to have in.
