Severity: wishlist
I'm reporting this feature request based on the review of "Mad Penguin."
I'm aware that Ubuntu has nothing to do wit Debian, but Ubuntu uses
same installer, so the remarks apply. Please consider this comment:

When you arrive at this portion of the setup you are given a
choice to format the entire drive or do a custom layout. I chose
to use the entire drive... While I can say that it did what it
said it would by partitioning the drive, I have reservations about
the way it presented its work to me. What I got was a screen
telling me what it had done, what partitions were there, how much
space per partition, and what file system was chosen for
each. Below all of this is a prompt asking if I'd like to write
changes to the disk or not.
I have two options of course: Yes and No. There is no option for
Wait! I really don't like what you did at all and I'd like to
change all of it. I suppose the obvious thing to do would be click
No (which I did), but what's to happen when I do? Will I be given
a chance to edit everything to my liking? I wouldn't know. Ubuntu
wasn't talking. As it turns out it allowed me to edit the choices,
but even that portion is not really that coherent. Even cfdisk is
more intuitive than this if you ask me.
