Comments/Problems:

My biggest problem: my touchpad didn't work at all in the graphical
installer; the mouse pointer is stuck in the centre of the screen and
doesn't respond to movement on the touchpad.
It works in the installed system, out of the box; I'm using Xfce4. I
think it's a Synaptics sort of a device, but I'm a bit unclear on the
details. Hopefully the attached files give enough detail.

As a result, I couldn't take any screenshots (since the "Screenshot"
button doesn't seem to be in the tab order, and I didn't find a keyboard
shortcut for it). I ended up recording my installation with a camera.

I was able to achieve everything else I wanted to do with the keyboard,
though.

I installed over a wired Ethernet connection, so I didn't try to use
non-free b43 WiFi drivers in the installer.

This was an install onto a new, blank SSD, but I changed my mind a lot
about my partition and encryption layout; on my first d-i session I
managed to get the partition/LVM/crypt system stuck in a state where I
couldn't make certain changes (I think I wanted to trash an encrypted
volume and start again or something); I had to reboot the installer to
achieve what I wanted. Unfortunately I don't have good records of the
exact steps I took, so this is probably not an actionable bug report.

In the end, the installation was successful.

Attached some files from /var/log/installer, lightly redacted. (These
are from the final d-i session, so the installer finds traces of the
previous partition attempt.)

Since we have switched from evdev to libinput in the installer, I'm closing 
this report.

It has been useful at the time of reporting, but is no longe relevant for
current installers.
Chances are high, that your touchpad is now working.
