Actually, I looked at it again, and while the questions are shown,
mostly they use what was already configured with the sid installer.
With the menu showing, language is (in terms of dialogues) a noop, as
is users & passwords except that one is asked whether to use shadow
passwords. MTA isn't asked by the sid installer when installing sarge,
and apt setup for installing packages is different than mirror
selection for installing the base system, so I don't consider than an
issue.
So over all using the sid installer to install sarge works. The only
thing that I think could be a problem is the shadow passwords question
(what happens if you used them during d-i, but turn them off again in
base-config?), or due to differences in kernel/udev (which doesn't
affect the system I'm using because it's supported by sarge's kernel
anyway).
Cheers,
Daniel
