Not so with the new installer, which I've tried. It does a very good job of hardware ID. The new installer is what some of the newer Debianish distros (Userlinux, Ubuntu) use. However Debian still doesn't seem to have something like kudzu's ability to detect the presence of new hardware in an already-setup system. But I'm still evaluating Ubuntu: I have yet to offer it some new hardware to see what happens.
