That too. It seems to me the features you mentioned (shell, log viewing)
are already there in text & graphical modes, so no point in running d-i
within screen there; let's do that only where it's needed. That would
also take care of my objections regarding UI changes.
The opt-out through a command line parameter can be implemented once the
core issue is resolved.

I'm not familiar with all variants in this area but I like the general
idea.
Waiting for Philipp and Axel to {,dis}agree.
