Sorry, but this is not enough to properly extract the contents of a

It's nice to have some alternative if partman is not working. Having
fdisk as udeb saved me multiple times. But I guess fdisk suffices and
it seems only cfdisk
warnings when forgetting to disabling preconfigure when using
a noexec /tmp is not really a problem when everything just works
otherwise.

do this simply by apt-key add, for the debian installer it might be

for some local modifications, I usually just put it into the initrd's

People who administrate a machine should know. Nevertheless in general

fdisk is AFAIK not thought to run non-interactive, and a little change in
