The aboot-installer package (sorry, bad form on my part, there is no partman-aboot udeb :) currently works around this for Alpha by calling the parted command and including a corresponding udeb dependency. It would be nice if this were integrated into parted_server, but I'm pretty sure it isn't there yet (or wasn't when I was implementing aboot-installer).
