I'm a smart person and I can use the new system to install with a proper
user name and gecos field with less typing than using the old system.

Do you read debian-user? Apparently not or you'd be familiar with the
phenomon of Mr. "Debian User" posting to that list from a variety of
different hosts.

used for and lets the user enter anything they like in it.
