Thanks to the excellent work of the installer team, debian-installer is incredibly modular. Surely someone could add hooks to load modules from contrib (only if the autodetected devices need them, and prompting first), either downloaded from the network or supplied on some physical medium? You seem to be advocating an ideological "compromise" solution for what sounds more like a technical problem. - Josh Triplett
