OTOH if our best guess was correct (e.g. most installs from a real
CD/DVD?  PXE installs?), an enter-happy person may not be happy at all,
because they get to a confusing "now enter a device path" prompt with
almost no good information.

I think on balance, it is a good change, but some further work on
detecting install media to avoid overwriting it, would make it better.
(There is already code in d-i to detect install media, if that could
work here, those devices perhaps could be bumped to the end of this list?).
