A related question, will the partitioner preferences be decided on a per-architecture basis? There are special considerations on some architectures (e.g., BSD disklabels on alpha, GPT on ia64?) that need to be taken into account before partman can serve as a reasonable default on all ports. I do think that it should soon be able to replace autopartkit altogether, since autopartkit probably also fails on these ports. :) -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
