If you did your homework you'd understand that right now they want reports from everyone who uses it. They even provide a template report for folk to complete.
Seems to me right now that if d-i gives anyone problems of any kind, the d-i team needs to know: there will never be a better time for fixing it than right now.
In this particlar case, it's not difficult to detect that the console's a serial port, and trying to use it as a VGA display is plain wrong. Tell 'em so they can fix it.
