Jordan can explain this much better than I can but the background is that
sysinstall started as a short-term hack to provide an installer. But it
survived and the code has become a kind of a nightmare because it has been
changed and provided with bells 'n whistles that make it even harder to
maintain.
I only use it to install the system onto the HD so I cannot really judge
how well it works for other things.
Hope this sheds some light,
