I'd rather the same effort be put into the things that give Debian its

Debian instead of Ubuntu, if they find the current install without a
fancy GUI tough to use, then I seriously doubt they are advanced enough
to be using Debian. In that case, they can try many other distros.
You do know Debian has a graphical installer, it's just not activated by
default (you have to type 'instalgui').

Andrei,
Thanks, but that was mentioned earlier in the thread, this was started
by my saying i was playing with the gui a while back trying to find out
what drivers were loading to support my NIC, and the gui was sadly
disappointed as compared to several others i've used.
To be dead honest, Mandrake 9.0 has a nicer GUI, more functional as well.
DISCLAIMER: I'm not saying mandrake (driva) is better, just that the
installer is prettier, and lets face it, since you only run it once, why
not make installing an eyecandy experience.
