That's what they said this time last year :P

New installer is a vast improvement. Hopefully some kinda important bugs
have been fixed since beta 4 (like, installing into LVMs and software RAID
was DOA on first boot, opps). But it's nice to see they've at least
_tried_ to support install-into those targets.

Of course, it's still Debian, so don't expect bleeding edge. Just the way
I like my servers, it reduces the blood loss :)
