Cool. I've created a page in the Debian Wiki with that information at
https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/TurrisOmnia and linked from
https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Router to it.

So in the future, it will be easier found if someone searches for
Turris Omnia in the Debian Wiki.

Anyway, that script is already good news, thanks!
