Can you give any specific examples, and specific suggestions how to
improve the interface?

Is there even a net option? Can you get a new image from
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/ and see if this
still has this problem?

This is done now.

Better names are used now.

I guess this is a feature rather than a bug... creating an account is
what most people should do. If you run the installer at a lower
debconf priority, you can choose.

I'm fairly sure this has been fixed now.
Can you try the image at
