Debian-Installer is the installation program for Debian GNU/Linux. It is also one of two official installers available for Ubuntu; the other one is called Ubiquity (itself based on parts of debian-installer) and was introduced in Ubuntu 6.06. It was originally written for the Debian release sarge, and the first "release" version of a Linux distribution it was used with was Skolelinux Venus (1.0). It makes use of cdebconf (a reimplementation of debconf in C) to perform configuration at install time.
Originally, it did not use graphics. A new graphical version of the installer (using GTK+-DirectFB) is part of Debian 4.0 (codenamed "etch").
