This has of course not changed since the Wheezy freeze 10 months ago:
between 77% and 78%. Which have been rebuilt BTW. In the meanwhile we
have pending fixes in various packages and glibc which should raise
that, but we didn't push them during the freeze.
It also has to be considered that this is a system that upstreams have
never really been exposed to, contrary to Linux & FreeBSD.

I don't really know why it is still at 96%. To my knowledge there are
not so many regressions in the past few years. I guess this accounts
for all packages since ever. I have asked for the removal of a hundred
outdated packages (Bug#704477), which amounts for 1% only, a fair amount
of which are actually just hit by known general FTBFS, or by lack of
updated libtool.

The installer itself is not a problem. Yesterday I have pushed the few
changes pending during the freeze.
We have not worked too much on the hardware support in the past months,
so it is basically network board drivers from linux 2.6.32, and IDE
disk support. I for instance installed it on my Dell D430, and network
just works fine. Working on a SATA driver should not be a problem. I
just haven't put it high on my TODO list, and have rather worked on the
Wheezy release whenever I had time to.
