Mmm...

A visible indication on the screen would be hackish at best. Another way
would be to use the scroll lock LED. Are you using the graphical or the
textual installer?  In the latter case, my patch to make the kernel let
userspace choose LEDs for modifiers at will has not yet been integrated,
it'll not be fixable for Wheezy.
