But there is a problem with it!

If you install a Workstation, you will sit in front of it and  if  there
ges something going wrong, you can interact.

Installing a server over the network and having NM as default, which can
not handel several NICS at startup and configre it correctly, require an
expensive Remote-Hand to get the system runing again...

What I do not understand is WHY the Debian Project can not do an install
in two steps.  I mean installing the bare base using "ifupdown"  and  if
the user choose the Desktop-Task replace it with NM.  I  think,  someone
which  want  to  install  a  server  HAS  the  knowledge  about  System-
Administration and does not need NM in any case.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
