Like I said in one of my earlier e-mails though, these kind of limitations
are part of why I switched to Gentoo, there's no GUI installer, but you can
put the system together however the hell you want (which is especially nice
with BTRFS, because none of the installers out there will let you use BTRFS
on top of LVM, which is useful for things like BTRFS raid1 on top of
DM-RAID0).
Limitations? ;-) Debian has a variety of bootstrapping methods,
though I forget if they're more analogous to starting a Gentoo
installation from stage2 or stage3...I haven't used Gentoo since 2002.
Please consult the following doc for one of the methods:
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/apds03.html.en
The closest I've ever seen for Debian to a Gentoo stage3 installation
(the developers discourage usage of stage2 installs these days unless
you're bootstrapping _everything_ yourself) is debbootstrap, and I could
never get that to work reliably.
FWIW, the installer wasn't the only reason I switched to Gentoo, the two
bigger ones for me were wanting newer software versions and needing
different sets of features enabled on packages than the default builds,
I ended up switching at the point that I was building more locally than
I was installing from the repositories.
