Dear Lennart,
I hope that when one opens a "whishlist bug" at least there is a chance
to have a confrontation.

it is supposed to perform a clean installation hence the only folder
that must to be untouched is "/home".

I use Debian since 2007 and I did a lot of installation, I personally

however when I install Debian on other machines I install

Yes, that is what Holger is
Dear All,
In this case I suggest hence to expand the use cases and to evaluate the

Dear Maintainer, this is a feature request.
Debian related distros like POP!_os and ElementaryOS, when the system is
installed in one partition: I mean inside "/", have the ability to recognize
