I just reinstalled jitsi-meet and found a more elegant solution resp.
the original cause for the VIDEOBRIDGE_MAX_MEMORY issue: The sysv init
script does 'include /etc/jitsi/videobridge/config' but then it doesn't
export the variables defined there. Simply adding the line 'export
VIDEOBRIDGE_MAX_MEMORY' at the beginning of the init script's 'start()'
function solves the problem. Additional bonus: The init script can be
'chattr +i'ed without disturbing the update process.

I ran into some another trouble with the videobridge, which may or may
not have existed in my previous installation. Maybe I just didn't push
hard enough for it to appear: When I dis- and re-connect several times
in short intervals, the videobridge "goes down" for a while and needs
some minutes to be available to jicofo again. If somebody has a quick
hint on this, I'd be happy - otherwise I'll come back when I see more.
Noteworthy is that both, videobridge and jicofo, run with 'MAX_MEMORY'
of 512m.
