Still, though. After the main install is done, and the reboot complete,
setting up the rest of the autodetection should be done in base-config,
even if it simply calls dpkg-reconfigure or something. Let's plan for this
from the installer, even if it isn't done till after install. Detecting
hardware (all kinds, if possible) is part of the install process after
all.
