I always saw the Debian installer as being the most flexible and un-st00pid when
it comes to these things. My memory of similar dual booting experiences (as well
as software raid drives) and stuff when it comes to Debian is all good - I think
you're okay to proceed with the install and just be careful at the
partitioning/filesystem stage..
