Can you try booting the gtk one? If you boot to GRUB, 'Graphical
Install' should be using that.

And that's plain wrong.

I want to run D-I on my monitor. Nevermind is it text mode one or gtk
one. My board does not require serial console to boot as I have
graphical output in U-Boot and can control it using USB keyboard.

I agree they should be included, so I'm changing bug metadata to that (hopefully correctly).

And I prefer text mode D-I over gtk one.

You can also add DEBIAN_FRONTEND=newt to the kernel cmdline to force that in the gtk builds.

Haven't really tested, but this change should be enough:
