You don't, certainly not with the old boot-floppies installer (the new d-i
one will have LVM/RAID functionality). To set things up right, however, you
can use an alternative installer, or you configure the disks manually and
copy an image/filesystem over. I've automated that with FAI in the past.

Most Debian systems administrators I know do not use the installer, and have
no reason to - there are much faster ways of bootstrapping a machine than
using any interactive installer.

So if you're trying to point out a basic fallacy in the above statement, I'm
not sure you've succeeded. ;-)
