Comments/Problems:
Congratulations, this was a vast improvement over my last debian install,
which was potato.
I booted with two options: linux26 and debconf/priority=medium.
I understand why you've chosen to default to high priority and not
ask, but I think that it is possible to craft an easy to understand
question to allow selection of the debconf priority level without
confusing the target audiance.
The apt configuration gave me the option of stable/testing/unstable
as my distro. Wouldn't it make more sense to use the release codenames
instead? That way I can install sarge now in the test phase, and stay
with sarge once it becomes stable without having to worry about changing
my apt config.
One issue; I was asked if the PCMCIA driver should be enabled three
times (I'm pretty sure it was the same question) during the install.
Each time I said no, as my machine has no PCMCIA slot.

Such a question would be pertinent enough is asked very eary...and
thus would be in English only. As we always tried to minimize the
amount of English seen by users (except those who choose
English...obviously) as well as the number of screens seen by users,
the configuration of the debconf priority has been left out of high
priority installs.

I don't remember the rationale behind that but there is one,
IIRC. ANyway, expert users are free to change this later.

There are situations where PCMCIA has to be enabled at a very specific
step, hence the question. This is indeed the same module which asks
the question.
Given that this install report is a complete success report, I do as
usual with successful install report=A0: I close the bug..:-)
This does not of course mean you weren't right to report. Knowing the
installations are correct is important for the d-i team.
Many thanks for yourtime testing the Debian Installer and reporting
your results. Have fun with your new Debian system!
