An additional point: testing with an amd64 netinst image from 2024-12-25 10:15 the graphical mode is again broken, installer starts in text mode instead. And despite of the text installer starts as a fallback here, it's somehow broken nevertheless, many of the available languages in language chooser list are broken (only squares instead of correct characters). Moreover, even the "native" text mode installer (when choosing "Install" from installer grub menu) is broken, it only has 22 languages in the language list (instead of 60 one day before) !
