Bug Description

Binary package hint: debian-installer

When installer help-screen is activated via the F1 key, the string with the hints for the installer Fn key-functions remains visible, whereas in help-screens themselves Fn-keys actions are redefined. Of course, there are just a few people out there who ever read help, but this might be confusing for them.

Thanks for considering.
