+The bug is not about the installer, it's about msec. You're a bit off there.
+If you want to propose a change to the installer behavior, open up a bugreport

+This is a also seperate bug.

+Again, Thierry was talking about msec-gui here, which is on-topic.
+Initial OS installation does not matter here.
