I think we should probably say explicitly that they don't follow all of the requirements laid out in this document. I vote for just calling them "udebs" instead of "micro binary packages." The latter sounds more formal, but I don't think anyone calls them that in practice, so it may be confusing. Perhaps: udebs (stripped-down binary packages used by the Debian Installer) are not fully covered in this manual and do not comply with all of the requirements discussed here.
