Quoting Javier Fernandez-Sanguino (jfs@debian.org): > Browsing the Debian Installer Goals for Squeeze in the wiki [2] I can > get a feeling of some of the most relevant changes, but it would help > if the specific goals that have been met and change the user > experience (from previous d-i versions) is detailed.

The steps for localization-related choices (language, country, locale) were significantly improved to make choices more natural for users and the consequences of these choices (mirror, timezone, keymap selections) more obvious. This work was one of the major contributions by regretted Frans Pop. (I find the last sentence a good way to give Frans some dedication without giving too much emphasis to it, which he would maybe not have wished. Of course, your mileage may vary)
