Sorry, I know it was a template, maybe I should'nt have been too
verbose.

Ok.

Since this beeing the installer an /me/ having only one machine of
this type (my main machine) I'm unable (or unwilling, given that this
machine is now heavily customized and the primary machine of our
household) to reproduce.

Ok. So I understand this correctly for the next time: After submitting
an installation report clone/retitle it immediately for every issue? No
problem, will remember.

Erm, I *did* reply. I'm just not going to spam submitters with
repeated status requests. Usually only once per development cycle,
maybe twice if a patch is included and the freeze draws near (in which
case I might NMU, as I did for three packages for Wheezy).

I just would like to point out that silence was not on my part, or the
reportbug script should be improved to ask for repeated ping of
installer bugs; I could do this, no problem.

Your effort *IS* appreciated. (And no need to reply to this e-mail,
rather get productive).
