If networkmanager were installed by default even a command line user
could then use nmtui and if that worked solve this problem. There is
wpa_passphrase that could append to
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf if that doesn't break the
configuration file as a back out option.

Hello,
FTR, the issue about the debian installer not configuring the wifi on
the installed system is
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=694068
the main issue is that when network-manager is not getting installed,
one would have to write the wifi password in the world-readable
/etc/network/interfaces , which is not something one usually wants to
do, and from there it's currently a statu quo.
