As far as I can remember, at least Andreas was fine/happy with the idea proposed by Holger (which also matched what I had in mind to make some progress there), so I don't see why we should disrupt the install flow with an early question for very specific usecases… Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois (k...@debian.org) <https://debamax.com/> D-I release manager -- Release team member -- Freelance Consultant
