There is some room for improvement with the current debian-installer page for 
Stretch: https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/debian-installer/
contains the chapter for Stretch (stable) images
("To install Debian (stretch), download any of the following images "), 
Documentation and Errata, all for Stretch, but they are not relevant at the
moment, of course.

Should we set that parts to
        <if-stable-release release="stretch"> ?
In the past, that respective chapter was just added when the new stable
release happened, so that was not needed in the past, but I think it would
be a fine improvement now.

Additionally, I would add a small sentence on how to install Stretch now
(basically a link to ../devel/debian-installer), which would be
        <if-stable-release release="jessie">

A proposal patch is attached, and also two html files, how the page would
look like now (during Stable=Jessie) and after the next release (when
Stable=Stretch).

Installing Debian

For installation images and documentation about how to install stretch (which is currently Testing), see the Debian-Installer page.

Title: Debian -- Debian “stretch” Installation Information

Installing Debian

To install Debian (stretch), download any of the following images (all i386 and amd64 CD/DVD images can be used on USB sticks too):

netinst CD image (generally 150-280 MB)

full CD sets

full DVD sets

CD (via BitTorrent)

DVD (via BitTorrent)

CD (via jigdo)

DVD (via jigdo)

Blu-ray (via jigdo)

other images (netboot, flexible usb stick, etc.)

If any of the hardware in your system requires non-free firmware to be loaded with the device driver, you can use one of the tarballs of common firmware packages or download an unofficial image including these non-free firmwares. Instructions how to use the tarballs and general information about loading firmware during an installation can be found in the Installation Guide (see Documentation below).

netinst (generally 240-290 MB) non-free CD images with firmware

Notes

  • For downloading full CD and DVD images the use of BitTorrent or jigdo is recommended.
  • For the less common architectures only a limited number of images from the CD and DVD sets is available as ISO file or via BitTorrent. The full sets are only available via jigdo.
  • The multi-arch CD images support i386/amd64; the installation is similar to installing from a single architecture netinst image.
  • The multi-arch DVD image supports i386/amd64; the installation is similar to installing from a single architecture full CD image; the DVD also includes the source for all included packages.
  • For the netinst CD images, MD5SUMS and SHA1SUMS files are available from the same directory as the images.

Documentation

If you read only one document before installing, read our Installation Howto, a quick walkthrough of the installation process. Other useful documentation includes:

Errata

This is a list of known problems in the installer shipped with Debian . If you have experienced a problem installing Debian and do not see your problem listed here, please send us an installation report describing the problem or check the wiki for other known problems.

Errata for release 9.0

Improved versions of the installation system are being developed for the next Debian release, and can also be used to install stretch. For details, see the Debian-Installer project page.
