10 links down on the home page

http://www.debian.org/distrib/pre-installed

        - by now, everybody probably install anything you want
        if you're buying in enough volume for them to sell to you

whether its done "properly" or not is a big separate issue
        - proper partition scheme ( important for admining )
        - proper packages
        - updates
        - non-deb upgrades 
        ( i just saw exim.org is about 10 revs newer than sarge )

        other stuff you have to tell them ( bad idea ) or
        you clean up after you get it
                - domain name, ip#, daemons on turn on

- some install for free... some charge $x,xxx or more :-)

watch out for those that install it "badly" and expect you to
call and pay for their additional "tech support" :-)
        - things always dies after warranty expires
