Indeed. But a fresh install is not critical information. If you lost
power during installation you'll want to restart over anyway.

Its name is there for people to indeed not think that it's a magic wand
that makes everything faster. It makes it faster at the expense of not
protecting it from power loss. But here the half-installed system is
moot anyway, we do not care that the dpkg database is coherent, we'll
want to start over anyway.
