So you tried expert mode and also selected manual partitioning. Then the
installer offers you to do just that.
This seems like deciding to eat an apple and then complaining that it
tastes like… an apple. If you choose manual partitioning you get to do
just that. And I love that I can do it. The last time I tried a Windows
installer partitioning choices were so limited that I wished I had a
Debian installer to install Windows. Also the partitioning tool within the
Windows installer has been very cumbersome. This has been quite some time
and they may have improved this, but still…
Use guided partitioning and be done with it in case you do not know much
about partitions. The Debian installer has guided partitioning with and
without LVM since quite some time.
I just don´t get what you are complaining about.
Do you have any *factual* and *concrete* issues with the Debian installer?
Anything that you could put a finger at and show it to us? Then even better
show it to the Debian installer team. I think they´d like constructive,
concrete and helpful feedback.
If you just like to complain, then better do not even bother to contact
the Debian installer team.
Thats at least my advice.
