What are you thinking about? Preseeding? Kernel command line arguments?
These are non-trivial. I actually wonder what non-interactive process
can be trivial enough for dumb-Bob user :)

Well anyway, this is not worth discussing: as I said before, one common
situation is when both a blind and a non-blind person want to follow the
installation. Hence a common frontend is needed. And writing yet another
front-end that would _both_ present a visual display on the screen and
a braille display through brltty is just cutting hair, compared to just
letting brltty read bterm's content (which would be helpful for other
distros too, as Dave noted).
