Installer work status, bugs, and requests

Registered by Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre

Let's talk about the installer for a moment. This includes both ubiquity and debian-installer.

Are there missing features that would be useful for a large number of people?
Are there current papercut bugs we could address? Larger issues that really annoy?

We can't guarantee we'll get to everything, but we'll try our best.
