No, help screens have to be improved, but unfortunately this will be
done very late. Current d-i developers are working on other tasks,
so anyone interested in providing a better installer can help, the
only prerequisite is to have tested the debian-installer.
For instance a help line can be added at the bottom to explain
available keystrokes, and I will be glad to incorporate it if
there are suggestions.
Another useful help would be to test current daily images and
see if criticisms expressed in http://www.thiesen.org/d-i/ have
been dealt with, and file individual bugs if this has not already
been done.
