You've never installed Debian/Ubuntu with a preseed.cfg file that answer all the questions for you (or, at your option, as many or as few questions as you wish)? You've never used FAI (Fully Automated Installed) either?
I have used FAI extensively to mass-install servers. Don't put words in my mouth: my point was that "point and click" installers are not necessarily faster then what we have.
Oh, I understood your original post as "with all its shiny dialogs, Ubuntu won't let me install a damn OS with minimal human interaction". Sorry for that. Still, I keep on thinking that debian-install[1] is a nifty piece of software that does everything you can expect from an installer.
BTW: debian/ubuntu installers are complex (in lines of code), especially if you add fai on top of that, which re-implements a lot of things.

[1] The last time I installed Ubuntu, but that was long ago, it used a glorified d-i. Make a s/Ubuntu/Debian/ if they no longer use d-i. -- Fred
