That's one of the things Corel has said they're going to address.  It
tends to be something the developers don't pay enough attention to,
because it's not something you do very often with Debian, generally.
After the first install, it's all upgrades, which are amazingly easy
(something we *do* care about:).

A lot of people have come along and said that they want to help with
the install, but they seem to tend to forget about it after they've
been using the system for a while.  A company like Corel, which has a
stronger motivation to improve the install (sales and support costs)
seems more likely to be able to stay focussed.
