Actually I'd say that they ARE thinking about their users. Most Debian users use the installer a couple times the first week then use the resulting installation for a very long time. You'd rather that they'd delayed the launch while they debugged the graphical gui? Or have the text installer now and maybe the graphical installer later? It's not like they're forbidden to ever add a graphical installer to Sarge, they could add that in the next minor upgrade. As Ubuntu already has made a graphical gui to the debian-installer they'd probable be asked if it's ok to ship that with debian as well. What's with this THEY SHOULD anyway. Did you make substansible donation or something? Debian is made by a community of (mostly) unpaid developers and if you want to add some code you're free to join.
