I haven't seen Debian's installer require you to do this, ever, even on 
Debian/Lenny.

Perhaps booting with DEBCONF_PRIORITY=low or setting that option in the 
installer fixes this problem.

FWIW, sometimes the "it has to be free" attitude of Debian gets annoying 
or in the way, but when they have their shit together, they seem to 
make a damn fine OS.
