Why?  Why does a GUI installer make it feasable, but a ncurses installer
not make it feasable?  It's unfortunate that Debian has actually caved in
to this pressure.

Unless the ncurses installer is *deficient* in some manner, the mere
"GUI-ness" of the other installer does not enhance the installation in any
way.  They both do exactly the same job in exactly the same way.  If they
don't, then one or the other is broken.

Someday there'll actually be a non-religious answer to this question.
