There is a potential practical consequence of not advertising an
init alternative during setup. It makes users less likely to be
aware of it, or even aware that the init system has changed.
New users do not need to be be aware of all the background to the
choosing of a default init. No advertisement is needed. By definition,
they do not care. They want Debian. Please let them have it.
If it's not a problem can I ask the following ?
AFAIU and IMHO, for the users that is more desktop oriented, already
exists in d-i the ability to choose their "favorite" DE, (if they care
of course),
dispite the fact there is a default (GNOME). And if I'm not mistaken the
selection UI has changed in Jessie because was "hidden" in some 3rd
level menu, no clearly visible.
Is it a project decision to go more Desktop ?
Sorry I don't know much reg. how to fix the --exclude bug, but is it
too much work for someone to do it,
at least for the expert install ?
