The word "unofficial" gives it away. I suppose there could be as many unofficial images as there developers who commit their efforts to https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/. None of them would be the one, true and free installer. None of them deserves to be called "the installer". The sentence I referred to should read but the installer does not include non-free firmware packages, This is not a matter of Englis usage but of reality. -- Brian.
