I am a little late to the thread, so sorry if I repeat something that
has already been said. Have you emailed any of
debian-testin@lists.debian.org, debian-release@lists.debian.org or
debian-boot@lists.debian.org? Have you filed a bug against the
install-reports psuedo package? Those are the best ways to let the
developers of the installer know that there is a problem.
