Steve, the mini.iso is a netinst. It downloads almost everything from
the net, including tasksel, which is one of the components of
debian-installer. I tried it yesterday, and it works perfectly.

I am not asking you to try the installer: I would like as many people
as possible to report problems with the choice of
merged-usr/non-merged-usr in unstable/beowulf.

Please consider that Beowulf is still under working, and most of the
desktop stuff is still to be fixed (in terms of policykit and
friends), so for instance you will not have any button to
suspend/reboot/shutdown. Please just focus on issues related to the
merged-usr/non-merged-usr setup at this point.

Thanks
