If this is so, then yes - AltGr is far from useless. :) But I believe 
that this use of Alt-gr is not possible with the standard us layot.  Can 
you confirm that you use the standard 'us' layout.  Does AltGr still 
work if you issue the command

setxkbmap us -option lv3:ralt_switch

(the option is to make the right Alt work as AltGr)

My personal opinion is the same as yours and not only for us but for all 
layouts.  However it seems one of the goal of d-i is to make the 
questions as few as possible.  I will implement in console-setup 
whatever is decided here.
