I think I have used all Debian releases between Sarge and Stretch, and I
don't remember any such bug.  Then again, I didn't necessarily *install*
all those releases.  There may have been some releases where I only did
an upgrade.  Furthermore, I usually only use a stable installer.  A bug
in the testing release of the installer that was fixed before it became the
stable installer is not likely one that I would have encountered.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.
