Debian Installer 6.0 宣布发布，增加软件包架构自动检测，并且关闭 ReiserFS 默认支持。不过该软件目前还处于Beta阶段。
The Debian Installer team is pleased to announce the first beta release of the installer for Debian GNU/Linux Squeeze.
This release is dedicated to Frans Pop, who worked as Debian Installer Release Manager for several years. Even after he stepped out from this responsibility in 2007, Frans continued to be heavily involved in several aspects of D-I until he passed away.
Frans played a key role in ensuring that D-I was constantly maintained at the high quality level that had been set by its original developers. In particular, Frans kept the Installation Guide in very good shape throughout the period that he was involved in D-I.
Frans' name will remain associated with Debian Installer, and his loss is deeply regretted by Debian Installer developers, contributors and translators.
本次新的 Debian 安装器有如下改善：
* 为 PS3 自动内核检测。
* 正确识别 MS Windows 的恢复分区。
* 内核更新至 2.6.32。
* parted 更新至 2.2，
* 增加对 Marvell GuruPlug、Marvell OpenRD-Ultimate 和 HP t5325 Thin Client(部分)平台的支持。
* 支持ISO/USB混合式 ISO。
* 在安装过程将检索安装介质上的固件 Deb 包，方便执行包含驱动固件的光盘安装或网络安装。
* 部分语言文件更新及移除。
此外，新版本将启用 udhcpc 作为默认 DHCP 客户端(除 kFreeBSD)，关闭了 ReiserFS 支持(若打开需添加modules?=partman-reiserfs)以及停止创建 /cdrom 符号连接。
