You surely can have ldap configured during install, if that's what you 
mean. I personally find it more convenient to have a properly configured 
set of files in /etc that I copy from one machine to the other.
I don't think it is possible to install Debian without a local user 
configured. But you do want a local user: you must be able to log in 
when eg. the network fails!
