Package: debian-www
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The page https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ says: "To install
Debian testing, we recommend you use the Buster Alpha 2 release of the
installer, after checking its errata."
The general recommended way as I understand it to install testing is just to
upgrade the system from a minimal stable install; in my opinion consider
removing that section from the website, even with the errata the installer can
be broken in ways not listed. Which is fine, if the goal is to test the
installer, but as I said, a more foolproof way is likely to just upgrade from a
minimal stable.

We now recommend the daily builds of the installer.
Sure, you can also upgrade from a stable installation to testing, but
it's easier an more fool proofed for doing a testing installation from scratch.
