Thanks for the detailed report. I'll answer in English as -boot is
mostly a development list where people are more likely to use
English. Anyway, your report could be processed and we even hadn't to
translate it as Magic Steve took care of that before any of the
froggies around could do it.

Well, that could be done, for sure, but this would be true for about
all the questions asked byt the installation or the installed
packages. We can assume that even if (s)he doesn't understand the
question, (s)he will understand that these magic Debian people will
have chosen the safest option..:-)

I may be wrong, but this is probably documented in the install
manual. Anyway, this is a frequently reported problem, especially for
multiselect dialogs, such as tasksel.
We should hope that the user will indeed read the
documentation..:-)...and wait for the graphical installer for
post-sarge...:-)

Not sure that such "old" hardware is easy to detect
automatically. Anyway, this really pertains to the X configuration
process and should probably be reported against the xserver-xfree86 package.

Well, we are probably limited here by the autodetection possibilities,
not sure. Serial mice are becoming quite uncommon these days, so users
with these should be expected to need some manual configuration, I'm afraid.
Again, this pertains to the xserver-xfree86 packages, but I don't
really know whether something can really be done here.

This is a transitory problem and, indeed, this is currently on
purpose. See tasksel changelog:
* Joey Hess
- Remove openoffice.org (leaving -bin), and remove all OOo -help- and
-l10n- packages from all tasks. This is necessary because these packages
are available for all architectures, but have broken dependencies on
many architectures (openoffice.org-bin is only built on a few), which
breaks installation of the tasks of which they are a part on many
architectures.
Joey, we should probably wonder whether this is still true.
