Use the bugzilla and submit a wishlist bug on the installer. note: there is a new installer called strangely enough knoppix-installer.
You can achive your desired effect by either having a seperate /home partition and backing up the /etc directory (or just the files you changed in it) to the /home partition and then installing the new version and restoring every thing the way it was or saving both the /etc and /home directories somewhere your drive and then restore them.
