And who's gonna answer their questions? I don't think many maintainers
will sign for this list.

Splitting debian-install would work, but... Most of the questions
discussed on debian-user is basically installation (configuration)
problems. What we end up with is that people will post their questions
to both (-user and -install) lists thus only increasing traffic.

I don't think it would be practical.
