That's definitely something that ought to work, fixing severity. (I do test installation using HTTPS for all releases, even if that's using the netboot-gtk mini.iso, seeding repository parameters via the kernel command line; so HTTPS support should not be *horribly* broken.) We even have code to install apt-transport-https conditionally (since that feature was merged into apt proper a while back), see: https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debootstrap/-/blob/master/scripts/debian-common#L30-42 I remember having to patch a few components to make sure it would work for all installation images, when support was implemented in the first place. As mentioned by Julien, getting the installer's syslog (compressed, to make sure it reaches the mailing list) would help understand what's going on.
