They are plenty!

The one I most recently come across is Anarchy Linux:
https://github.com/deadhead420/anarchy-linux/releases/tag/1.0.4

I has a nice installer, by the way.

Indeed you can also have a look to the Debian installer.

Just mount a recent installation ISO to check.

Just stating that something is missing or not completely doesn't
help to find which enhancements could be needed.

Please be more specific.
