I wonder if the "use_all" part of the patch shouldn't be its own
debconf question though. It appears to be useful to tell partman-auto
(in general, not just the partman-auto-lvm part) to _not_ use all
available space (though I'm not sure if other parts of partman-auto
actually use all space or not).

I think that's talking about this code: https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/partman-auto-lvm/-/blob/1177909ee2f3bbe2b4f53e59076c6e8af9d5029e/perform_recipe_by_lvm#L135-181

If there were a debconf question for that use_all variable, I think that would accomplish the same thing as having a free space partition type. (I don't know which way is better, just mentioning it as an option.)
