I am not sure, but in the graphical installer, we could add a

base-install and partman, since there are no extra dependencies.
There has been such kind of suggestion last weeks but it has been
ruled out. I guess that the rationale is mostly avoiding features that
are only available in some D-I flavours.
So, if a method to set the clock is offerred, it has to work for all
interfaces.
In some cases it's not possible (e.g. no hardware clock.) In some
cases it's possible but not desirable (e.g. hardware clock exists but
is known to be wrong and porters have decided to ignore it during
system initialization until access to an external clock is available.)
But it seems a shame to ban a useful tool just because some people
can't or won't use it...
My two cents worth,
Rick
