I would guess they tried to make it easy to install?
Surely my intention was not to put d-i into a bad light or to claim that
openSUSE is better. Of course every distro has its strengths, and Debian
is top on most.
I did not mean to start a flame war, but to suggest to give openSUSE's
installer a try, just to see how it works. Maybe some ideas (like the
"big" configuration window instead of asking for [OK] or [BACK] on every
screen) can be useful for Debian, too.
Just hoping to make the good even better.

Harri
