Hallo Karl-Heinz, no surprise, that the problem is still there, because nothing has been done against it yet :-((
There has been a lot of discussion in some mailinglist on this topic, however there seems to be not much interest in the installer-team apparently, to do some changing (or maybe with other words: lack of manpower prevents the team from fixing this). I sent a proposal to debian-boot for this, but got no answer (neither positiv nor negativ) ...
