Not only is the GP not paying a dime, but he's complaining about a beta -- the whole point of which is, yes, it could be buggy but is useful enough for wider use by the brave. He could have been a useful beta tester, by trying it out and filing a bug report, but instead he chooses to whine on LWN. Nice.

You need to reset your expectations

I've found that d-i makes some silly assumptions about disk layouts. I'm surprised at this, given that d-i has been around the block a number of times. I loved being told "no operating systems were found on your disk" despite having four installed (solarid, fbsd, obsd, netbsd).

Still, it has always told me what it was going to do, and allowed me to make my own mind up about its actions. I consider it well behaved, if sometimes a bit unhelpful. Now that I think about it, it is in keeping with the Debian experience ;-)
