Package: debian-installer Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, this is a feature request.
Debian related distros like POP!_os and ElementaryOS, when the system is installed in one partition: I mean inside "/", have the ability to recognize the previous installation and reinstalling the system without erasing the user folders already existing, so you can reuse your actual existent user. It would be a nice feature having the same on Debian; for desktop installations this eliminates the necessity to have partitions separated while you can reinstall your system several times for whatever reason. Even macOS has this feature since a very long time.
