I'm not 100% sure if this fits into this subject/discussion, but ...
On ARM devices it would be very useful if the first 16MB would be
(automatically) reserved.
The U-Boot bootloader is normally put in the first part of the boot
device and for Rockchip based devices that can extend to the 16MB
'mark'. AFAIK bootloaders for other SoCs are before that.
If you use the current recipes you end up with an unbootable system as
the U-Boot bootloader get overwritten with the / (root) partition and
the data on it.
There should be a bug for it, but I didn't manage to find it.
Right now, the instruction is to choose manual partitioning and create
a 16MB partition ([1] says 32MB, but it should be 16MB [2]) and then the
normal partitions and after that you could remove that partition again.
And if you type in 16MB, then you need to 'hope' that it is actually
16MB and not something (a bit) smaller.
I like to think that I'm more advanced then most users and I found it
quite difficult to do.
So it would be very helpful if the recipe(s) for ARM devices would
reserve the first 16MB automatically with plain partitioning.

Changes:
partman-auto (168) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Team upload
.
[ Pascal Hambourg ]
* Enable LVM for the small_disk recipe as well. This allows to use
(encrypted) LVM via that recipe.
* Add a 16MiB reserved partition to arm64 recipes, to reserve space for
the U-Boot bootloader on arm64. Closes: #1078871.
* Disable partition reuse when choosing recipes on entire disks. Should be
enabled only when partitioning in free space. Otherwise it might result
in undersized partitions or failure to create partitions.
.
[ Holger Wansing ]
* Disable cap-ram by default; with the new server partitioning schemes
there should be no longer a need to have it enabled by default.
