Thank you for the very helpful reply Andrew.
I always use Debian's "Graphical Installer" option.
I'm not sure what Calamares is, but will look into it.
However, I will also re-word what I now believe to be the primary issue
here into a more succinct message, figure out how to add line-wrap,
and re-submit to a more appropriate list.
Thank you for everyone's helpful replies. Despite what one person
said about not taking me seriously, I believe there's an important
problem here, and that fixing it will be a good thing
for the Debian project.
