It has to be noted:

The new debian-installer is still not finished. It's been made useable for x86-based computers plus, perhaps, some other platforms but it's not all the way there. Not by far.
Also, debian-installer is not meant to always be the simple solution. Debian is meant to be a good solution for advanced users and some people really need to set those rarely-used options. Easy installs are okay, but not at the cost of limited options.
Debian-based distributions (like Skolelinux, a set of preconfigured installs made for plug-and-run setup at schools) can use this to set up its own defaults and make a specialized install asking barely a question.

The thing about debian-installer is, it's a better base for making simple install routines. The user shells may not be all that simple yet, but that's what comes when the base is in shape.
