I agree that it would make sense to ask this at (probably) medium priority, although I'm not sure when I'll have time to make this change.

So it should not be asked at default priority and have a very clear description. IMO having at as a regular question at default prio with a good description also allows to document the issue better (or at least, makes the "documentation" more accessible). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

In modern machine the default ought to be the most logical option and ought to work fine (and even provide some performance benefit in some cases) so this shouldn't be so easy to mess with it IMO.

I would even say it should be an option that's available during regular installs, either at medium or low prio. And it should also be documented in the "Using D-I" chapter of the manual. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
