Although being able to suggest usernames is a nice feature, my wife (who
rarely has occasion to add users or install systems :) also stumbled at
this point in the installer during a usability test, expecting this to
be a prompt about a username rather than a full name.  It may be that
she's atypically steeped in Unix tradition, and that most newcomers to
Debian will think in terms of people names rather than usernames, but at
least some people are confused by the present order.
