It works as documented in the Installation Manual, section
5.2.1. "Debian Installer Parameters".

That means setting debian-installer/framebuffer=false has an effect
now.

Fine.  My concern was that the patch changes the default from "lets
see if we have a framebuffer and are on a VC" to "never use the
frambuffer unless debian-installer/framebuffer=true is given on the
commandline".  But that does not seem to be the case.

Jö.
