First, I wonder why you ask personally me for this.
Why not ask the debian-boot team?
I am acting as i18n coordinator for the installer, however that does not
strictly include reponsibility for the original (English) content of those
documents.
Second: now that you have asked, the installation-guide should be mostly
release-ready; one can consider an exception here, which is Secure Boot.
This functionality has been added in a last minute rush into the installer,
and thus is not properly documented in the installation-guide.
However, the guide is still release-ready despite this, if you ask me.
When it comes to the release-notes, I mailed a short proposal for this to
debian-boot weeks ago, but got no answer.
And I already pointed you to this mail some days ago.
So, let's see if debian-boot core team provides some opinion here...
(Note: due to moving my home to another city, I will be cut of from powerful
internet connection within the next days, reducing my activity to smartphone
capabilities, so expect low responsibility during next weeks.)
So long
Holger
