I think I have used all Debian releases between Sarge and Stretch, and I don't remember any such bug. Then again, I didn't necessarily *install* all those releases. There may have been some releases where I only did an upgrade. Furthermore, I usually only use a stable installer. A bug in the testing release of the installer that was fixed before it became the stable installer is not likely one that I would have encountered. Sorry I can't be more helpful. -- .''`.
