it's because partman-auto depends on partman-ext3Package: anna Severity: important Tags: d-i
In lowmem level 2, anna presents a list of udebs, which does not include partman-ext3. And partman-ext3 is not loaded at all, though the kernel udeb with the ext3 module is. This leaves partman only able to do ext2 by default. Reiserfs and other filesystems can be selected in anna.
and to avoid to display a too long list, anna display only packages which are at the top of the dependency tree (example: partman-auto)
we can remove this functionality but i think we will have a very long list.
another solution is to remove in the list, packages which are dependencies of 'menu packages' with a installer-menu-item < current-menu-item
and current-menu-item should be a template set by main-menu
