Did we get anywhere on this? I'd vote in favour of rewriting partconf using
libparted for the file system generation, but if people disagree I could
probably write a simple progress bar. (In that case, do we want to try to
grok the mkfs output for a few known filesystems, or not?)

Well, it's not a matter of

A quick test indicates that most interesting mkfs-variations (ext2, ext3,
reiserfs; vfat and jfs are so quick it doesn't need progress, and xfs seems
only a bit slower than that) has at least some kind of progress output, so we
_could_ theoretically grok that. It will be ugly, though...

will labparted support all common filesystems? (eg reiserfs, xfs, jfs,
...)

I know that will be difficult, but as Tollef stated we need a progress
indicator for mkfs. If nothing happens when formatting a large partition
the lowbrow user might believe d-i crashed or something...
