I do feel simpathy for Ales Dolecek and all other users that
end up with black screen and non-functional keyboard.
I think that telling them, that they should contact their video hardware
manufacture for support, will be a good thing.
And reassign the BR to xdebconfigurator.
Another good thing would be telling the user to install again
and not install the desktop software (to avoid the autostart of X.org ).
