Well, then the choice should not be proposed to the user.
And why would a 200MB disk be too small for autopartitionning ? IIRC the
base install only takes around 150MB, isn't it ? It could simply be
formatted as a single-partition one without swap - what I didn indeed, 128MB
RAM should be enough I suppose (could not check yet, hit a qemu segfault,
under investigation).

After the segfault I restarted installation, being careful not to hit any
"back" button, and when I asked for autopartitionning, I don't remember
seing a different dialog than the 1st time. But it's easily reproduceable:
- install qemu
- dd if=/dev/zero of=hda count=409600
- make sure you have TUN/TAP available to your host kernel, and /dev/net/tun
created (see other bugreport)
- qemu -cdrom sarge-netinst.img -hda hda -boot d -m 128
