I'll avoid commenting on needing/wanting KDE while being a non-technical
user. ;)

I doubt we'll change anything in templates at this point (strings need
to be translated), but we already have:
  https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/amd64/ch02s02.html
  https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/amd64/ch06s04.html

so I'm not sure pointing to another page would be a great idea. If the
installation guide isn't fine enough, we should improve it. (Also Moin²
pretends this page doesn't exist.)

One of the blockers for D-I Jessie RC3 is in the firmware area anyway
and I'll be working on it this week, maybe there's an easy way to
improve feedback for users.

I'll have a look, thanks.

OK, great.

Mraw,
