My reason for being interested in anaconda-debian is kickstart, that's the 
entire reason, the only reason.

I agree that debian-installer is the way to go for a normal Debian install and 
I have done several test installs with it over the past 6 months.  However, 
AFAIK debian-installer still doesn't support unattended installs (or perhaps 
they just aren't documented?).

I can understand progeny's reasons for doing the anaconda port somewhat but I 
don't see why they wouldn't have been better served by helped d-i and then 
getting it ported to work with redhat.  All questions aside, the anaconda 
port was apparently done and the work does sound useful as a stop-gap 
measure.
