Niltze [Привет : Hello]-
I had a rough time installing Debian into a laptop-like device without
ethernet cable plug orifice and only offering rtw89 wifi device. I even
tried an 'official' Debian netboot Installer media without success:
kernel modules did not recognize any of the rtw89 module set.
Accordingly, after several days I succeeded in hacking non-official
rtw89 modules into a reiser4 -enabled kernel build. The generated UDEBs
and especially the
nic-wireless-modules-5.17.0-3+reizer4.0.2-amd64-di_5.17.13-2+reizer4.0.2_amd64.udeb
subsequently built into my custom d-i created the magic to recognize the
rtw89 device and successfully install Debian on reiser4 and with
Enlightenment available after the very first boot. Of course, d-i
installation was in 'expert mode'; I recreated an approximate procedure
to install Enlightenment under VirtualBox.
1) I deselected the 'Debian desktop environment' and 'GNOME'

2) Towards the last phase of the installation I created a hack, asking
the user to just type E to install the Enlightenment WM; of course, this
option will acquire Ross/Metzler Debian packages and install: connman
terminology enlightenment bluez bc pulseaudio packagekit udisks2 ddcutil
gdb xorg xdm
< http://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-67ac8167d46383.54308496.jpg >
3) Accordingly, upon the very first boot, after typing credentials at
XDM, Enlightenment configuration is awaiting

4) We follow through:

5) And finish by increasing the screen resolution:

A word of caution: GNOME installs pipewire which seems to conflict with
E's pulseaudio. Thus, if GNOME is selected first likely d-i will refuse
to deconfigure pipewire to install pulseaudio if E is subsequently
selected, as well.
