To be fair, it's four or five weeks since I last used an installer, and
I certainly got os-prober then. But a few days ago, os-prober was
disabled in that very installation after an upgrade. I can therefore
easily believe that it could now be omitted on installation. Someone
important considers it unnecessary.

Again, there was a changelog mentioning this and saying how to work
around it, but I feel that a Debian upgrade should not simply disable a
piece of necessary and regularly-used software without at least asking
the user first.
