I have opened a new pull request that alters the language of this page
by specifying that only the standard environment lacks a GUI installer,
but all others are safe to use if the user wants a Calamares installer.
The second half of this bug seems to have been resolved already. The
text "...as an alternative to our well know Debian-Installer" is no
longer a part of the page, as of last check.
