(Get the code!)
According to my tests, my laptop is short in memory about 50 MB during installation. Before installation it has almost 100 MB free (i.e. cached) memory.
During install, right before freeze, last app shown by "top" using most of memory is localedef, second - ubiquity, third - debconf-communi.
So it is not only ubiquity, but some other tools which it is running. I am wondering, why they are run anyway. I think information such as list of locales, timezones, etc. can be generated at the time of generation of Live CD, not during installation.
And going back to Ubiquity. Maybe the solution would be to have boot-time option "Installation for <256 MB RAM", which would spawn only X-server with Ubiquity, instead of whole desktop?
I will try to run such scenario to see how much memory it will use.
