My .02: By definition the installer is most new users' first contact
with Debian. We should not consider it to be 'working' if it confuses
the user.
Also, from a purely software engineering perspective, it's much easier
to build in a hook you don't need now than to retrofit a capability
you knew you needed later. IMHO at this point we should be building
as many hooks as possible, since this code will undoubtedly have a
life of many years.
