Just received a new laptop, and both Debian Stable, and Debian testing would not detect the hard drive.  Any possibility this can be added to the to-do-list for developers?  I bought a Dell XPS 15 7590 (2019) edition.

NVMe drives are already supported by Linux kernel (via "nvme" kernel module), so they are supported by Debian and other distros.
Is this NVMe drive appears to be detected when you are inside BIOS?
If it is detected by BIOS, try to add "nvme" kernel module manually during installation.
To do that, proceed with text-mode installation until you reach "Partition Disks" section.
Select "<Go Back>" and choose "Execute a Shell" menu option.
To insert nvme module type "modprobe nvme" at command prompt. Verify by typing "lsmod | grep nvme"
It should output something like this:
    # lsmod | grep nvme
    nvme                   36864  0
    nvme_core              81920  1 nvme

After that type "exit" to return to main menu and select "Detect disks" option.
If your nvme drive was detected proceed with installation as usual.
