I think this is the gist of the issue: Debian is a doocracy. Everyone is 
free to write a new installer and bring it into the Archive. Installing 
Debian from a Debian Live installation already uses a different 
installers, many people including myself are installing debian 
"manually" with debotstrap.

So, I'll add to Mehmet what you already said: Thanks for your 
suggestions, now go ahead and build them.

Greetings
Marc
