No, I didn't say Debian will not work on your laptop. I don't know
that.
What I meant is: The installer will offer you the option to report how
your installation went. It can be good or bad depending on your
hardware. The vehicle for the report is a pseudo-package in the
Debian bug tracking system; you open a "bug" to say how your
installation went. For examples, see two reports that were made
recently:
http://bugs.debian.org/415953 (all went well)
http://bugs.debian.org/420255 (problem partitioning the hard drive)
The main benefit is that the installer prefills the installation
report with information about your hardware. Sending an installation
report fills the "database" of known-good and known-bad hardware. The
"database" is the BTS at
http://bugs.debian.org/installation-reports
