Unfortunately, I can't. :-(I was fiddling a lot with the partitioning, and when I couldn't get the system to boot (Grub always failed to install, because I put the ESP partition on LVM, as you know, *not* realizing this was the root cause) I install Ubuntu (sorry) just to verify whether it was a bug in d-i. Ubuntu is still installed, as I'm still playing with the new machine (it's a nice Mini PC which I have bought from AliExpress, and it's gonna be my new intranet server).
In my experience, partman numbers the partitions in the creation order, and locates them in available space at the beginning or end of the disk as specified by the user.
That's what I would normally expect. Thanks for confirming.
I might want to prefer a partition to be at the beginning of the disk for speedOr to cope with platform firmware constraints.
Indeed.
