Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
the following packages require the user to enter information during the
package installation portion of the installation:
aspell
exim
xorg
there may have been more than this. this is bad for usability because the
user has to manually attend to the system.
also note that it seemed that more packages required manual
configuration under the graphical-installer as compared to the text
installer (comparing both from the same d-i release).
thank you for your consideration.

It is not bad for usability if the questions actually need to be asked.
We generally look very critically at which questions are being asked and
reduce them as much as possible. Some localization questions are
currently being asked that don't need to be, but that is a known issue
expected to be resolved before the release of Etch.

That is not true.
