So this particular issue is unchanged in d-i vs b-f. And, again, it's
a debian-cd issue if I'm not mistaken.
Even if b-f is EOL, it's what Woody will be shipping with, so it
affects thousands if not tens of thousands of users. I didn't mean to
imply at all that we should do what we can to make installation (even
on OldWorld) as easy as possible.
So, again, I think this all is worthwhile, even in the context of
woody and b-f (esp. since most of it will carry over to sid and d-i).
