I hope not.

Assuming they include a module for the kernel in Debian 7 (I see they
list Debian 7.0 in their readme) that actually works with the kernel
in 7.8 and not just 7.0 (so maybe), then it should be possible to use
a usb key to load that module using one of the other terminals in the
installer, and then switch back to the installer and do the disk setup.
Of course before finishing the install you would have to also install
the module in the target and update the initramfs, before finishing the
install and rebooting.
If installing jessie (currently testing) is an option instead, that
should just work.
