Bug#266604: debian-installer: Could have installed 586 kernel on Pentium system

[thijs <thijs-deb@kinkhorst.com>]

Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist

I've installed Sarge using d-i RC1 on an old Pentium (I) system.
Everything went fine, which is good! There's one minor thing though: the
installed kernel was a 386-kernel, while it could have installed the
586-kernel image package. Might it be a good idea that the installer
detects the processor type and selects a "better" kernel-image more
suited/optimized to the specific capabilities?
