I'd like to briefly share my experiences with enabling support for
several ARM boards in Debian over the last years, and use this to
highlight some of the issues encountered.

Debian-Installer has had support for various flavors of ARM systems
for quite some time, and it's arguably better now than ever... but
it's still a very rough road. Some of that is just because ARM is,
well, difficult, with individual boards requiring specific
configuration. But some of it is in the design of debian-installer...

I'd like a broad, open discussion to consider various methods of
installing and configuring Debian systems:

* Could we make installing from live images a default option? How
  could that simplify things, and what would we loose?

* configuration management systems such as puppet, ansible, chef,
  propellor, etc. are widely used. How can this be integrated into an
  installer?

* image-based creation tools (e.g. vmdebootstrap) are used to create
  ARM bootable images for many systems.

* with virtualization and containers increasingly common, how does
  debian-installer fit in?
