that thing is important and will be followed up on after lenny release,
no time left anymore :/

you have to seperate between 'asking a lot of questions', 'GUI' and
'user friendly'.
the first thing can be done very easy by regular preseeding of the
installer.
the second thing can be done easy as well, by using installgui rather
than install.
and if you insist on an 'application' type of install as beeing user
friendly (like ubuntu does), then that cannot be easily done yet (but
see above, will be worked on post lenny).
