Maybe you are thinking too complicated. The only things I need to care usually are - maybe the installation needs firmware-nonfree - choosing German keyboard - choosing en-utf8 Desktops and laptops get whole disk or whole free space. Development servers get RAID-1, LVM, XEN. Production servers get RAID-1(0), LVM, DRBD, XEN. Then I always do only a base install in the first step. In the second step I choose a desktop environment (Gnome, or now back to KDE). Usually everything (sound, wifi, trackpad etc.) works out of the box. My smallest Debian box is a creditcard sized RaspberryPi, my largest a 2 node cluster, each node having 16 cores, 32 GB, and many VMs on it.
