adding line(s) is enough: directfbrc is parsed everytime a DFB-based
application, like the graphical frontend, is started

The fix given in #372773 is working for me, too. This seems weird, the
G-I daily worked fine for me around the 18th of May. Is this due to
directfb 0.9.24?

I tried with the known trick:
- boot with "install DEBIAN_FRONTEND=newt"
- switch to VT2, "export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=gtk"
- run "debian-installer" (now after adding the line
"disable-module=linux_input" in /etc/directfbrc)
